“While other fishermen lazily dangle bait in the water, fly-fishers sweat over strategy and technique” Interesting comment. Being that I am not a fly fisher but do understand the pricipals behind it; I would say that is either an uninformed comment or prejudice toward other disciplines. I hope I am not sounding too sensitive but I have spent a lot of time perfecting my fishing skills and find it rather insensitive to make comments such as the above one.
Tight lines and screaming drags

Fish Whisperer, some of the best anglers I know have never touched a fly rod. I would say they sweat over strategy and technique as much or more than anyone, so you’re right that it’s an uninformed comment.
Did you see the article about Bunker in the same issue?
Not yet but I will check it out asap
Only an insecure person makes comments like that – just enjoy the sport and enjoy the fact that you can get out and do it.
