I read through all the responses to this thread and see a great deal of "he said she said", but not many facts, maybe perceptions espoused by some. Social media has its place and its areas of interest, but I don't see a comparison to what we have here. Can we attract young people? Probably not in droves, but yes to those really interested in fly fishing knowledge and experiences. Oh, by the way, those youngster grow older and get more serious about what's really important. Obviously, I am not a great fan of the latest social media outlets, but I do have all the new mobile toys. I will say that we have something special here in this forum. Word of mouth can help bring serious angles, of all ages, to this site. Keep the faith!!
