Fish with a bare hook and you're doing something else.<br /><br />Fishing to recently stocked fish is not a method question, it's a question of sportsmanship. I don't consider it very sporting but it does fill the frying pan.Steve Zakurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806203921155483420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754321616639572513.post-1079531767763652802012-09-01T22:37:57.464-04:002012-09-01T22:37:57.464-04:00If the trout was just dumped off of a stocking tru...If the trout was just dumped off of a stocking truck, is pursuing it in fact fly fishing?<br /><br />I mean, you may be using a fly..but are you really fishing?<br /><br />Perhaps fly fishing requires that both the "fly" and the "fishing" part be the real thing?<br /><br />T.J.

...Which is why the topic is so enjoyable to watch.<br /><br />I think my beef is that while a bead on mono six inches above a bare hook is deadly effective when fished on a fly rod (or any rod for that matter) it's not in fact fly fishing which in my state, and I think in the minds of many fly anglers, requires there to actually be something on the hook, natural or otherwise.<br /><br />Some of the guides, including ones I fished with, would put a bead on the mono and then a flesh fly below it thereby making one feel more wholesome about the whole bead thing.Steve Zakurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806203921155483420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754321616639572513.post-88524323103888366742012-09-01T18:30:43.334-04:002012-09-01T18:30:43.334-04:00As long as you know you're in a whore house an...As long as you know you're in a whore house and not a sorority party, I suppose it's okay.

They're dumped off the truck.<br /><br />It's not obvious to me why the latter is considered authentic while the former is not.<br /><br /><br />T.J.
