aksealiceon 18 Jul 2010 at 2:43 pm 2slayer 4 you are bitching at youre own people chuck and duck is not fly fishing it is glorified hardware fishing . stop the hate for youre people it is the same as bouncing lead with a spinning rod just you have a fly rod instead by the way the little m and big m are below the bridge so i think you are a flatlander as you put it fudgie maybe? or are you a yooper ? by the way all purists live on the east coast nobody cares if you run bait or flyfish in alaska we are all sportsman.
AtmaRisingon 18 Jul 2010 at 3:40 pm 3I’m sure there’s plenty of fly-fishermen out there that have practically had their rods ripped from their hands as a steely attacks a streamer on the swing. Nothing like it! Yeah, some guys lift, but that’s not my problem. I feel bad that they can’t enjoy the fierce take of a hungry steely!!
flylooperon 18 Jul 2010 at 4:33 pm 4Man, I just stumbled into this place and read the commentary. Lotta hate and discontent. Fishslayer could do with a beer.
umphishinon 18 Jul 2010 at 5:20 pm 5I’m not here to argue with another fisherman. You like fishing, I like fishing, if we can’t respect each other, lets respect the fish. Any guide teaching that technique should be ashamed.
fishslayer4on 18 Jul 2010 at 6:13 pm 6all i ask if you are going to come up here to rip at least own it. many men including my self know how rig a fly and a really long lead. “chuck and duck” to make it appear even a fish on the gravel hit the fly. i have sat on my boat at tippy dam and heard “guides” tell their clients “o.k sir lift”. that is ripping whether you lie to yourselves or not. you might be good at lining fish. but just a bobber and a spawn bag there is not a question if the fish is foul hooked……
superkindonmymindon 18 Jul 2010 at 6:37 pm 7Ya I dont want 2 be on the water w him downsteam 2 me, but everyone deserves respect on the water. Purist or baitguy, If u want the hole better get there first.
umphishinon 18 Jul 2010 at 6:43 pm 8So easy retards like you can even figure it out.
fishslayer4on 18 Jul 2010 at 7:39 pm 9i think this is how you spell “faggot”. worry a little less about me and you might get your G.E.D. but you got to work on that spellin”
fishslayer4on 18 Jul 2010 at 8:39 pm 10I have caught more steelhead on one day than any fly fisherman has caught in his LIFE! fishing from a bucket is one of the most productive fishing methods ever. just stay down state flatlander fudgie. nobody wants you up here!
fishslayer4on 18 Jul 2010 at 8:45 pm 11go fuck yourself and stand up like real man you pathetic idiot. you cant even spell. i guess thats what you get for being a eminem “want a be”.

Eminemfollower89on 18 Jul 2010 at 10:29 pm 14fishslayer 4 is a fagot comment me if you think so to!
umphishinon 18 Jul 2010 at 10:49 pm 15Some f*cking nerve! Your stretch of river!!?? too bad every purist, sage owning fly fisherman has rights to whatever water he wants. You must be a bucket fisherman. Fish are not an unlimited resource!!!! Catch and release!! Don’t be jealous because fly fisherman catch more fish.

fishslayer4on 19 Jul 2010 at 12:09 am 18jerry darkes can fuck himself he needs to keep the cat in his bag! .all you purist fly fisherman dont even bother showing up on my stretch of river. all you do is lift at the end of your drift and that makes you all rippers(snaggers) if i catch you lifting on the fish on gravel i will personally take your 9wt sage and break it on you head big m little m off limits to kashi eatin tree huggin faggots
