I have a question: Why do so many fly fisherman feel compelled to make fun of non-fly fishermen?

Good question, and I don't have the answer. I post on a few conventional boards and do not see disdain for fly fishermen on them. I see the opposite, actually: much respect (and even awe) at fly fishing, particularly the casting and fly tying aspects.

Probly for the same reason a few guys in a local B.A.S.S. chapter looked at my
bass fishing rig with amusement or, if I feel sensitive this morning, darn right disdain.
Screw-em has always been a good philosophy

I know guys like that. They look down on everything. They probably think much more highly of you than they do of me when I tell them I"m fishing for carp!
