I am so glad that so many others got their response to Hairwing in before I did. Words like arrogant, eletist and snob do a fair job of describing that mentality.

Hairwing, I would bet any amount of money that so many of the fishermen I know would be able to fish circles around you. Be it with a streamer, nymph or dry fly. How can I say this without ever fishing with you, thankfully? I have seen those guys fish, and I have never heard them go on about the higher level of fly fishing that they have achieved.

If trout eat the vast majority of their food below the surface, why are the vast majority of fly fishing snobs fishing only dry flies???
