Quarter stick or M80…Nothing beats a big night crawler and split shot baby!
Caught a lot of fish on the ol Root with worms when I was a kid. I was a lot slimmer than that though. mtmuleyYoung @mtmuleyView attachment 242268
"My dad always told me, if you want to catch a fish, you got to use worms."
Fly fishing and catch & release fit together hand in hand. Trout rarely inhale a fly (especially a dry fly) but they almost always fatally inhale bait. To promote trophy fishing, catch & release flies only makes sense. Also makes economic sense in stocked waters that get a lot of pressure. Bait fishermen will clean it out as fast as the fish can be dumped in the water. Hatchery fish typically taste like sawdust anyway so what's the point in killing them?Back in 1977 they finished the Lost Creek Dam on the Rogue River. They also built a fish hatchery just downstream of the dam. The stretch of water between the dam and the hatchery was stocked with big rainbows and designated for catch and release fly fishing only. That meant that us low brow, worm drowning, trout eating untouchables were not allowed to fish there. So, us low brow, worm drowning, trout eating untouchables decided that since that stretch of river was so sacred that only elitist fly fishermen were allowed in, we would sarcastically dub it "THE HOLY WATER." The name stuck and it is now officially known as The Holy Water.
40 years later I saw an article, written by an elitist fly fisherman, about "The Holy water." He said something to the effect that it was called "The Holy water" because it was almost like fishing in Heaven. Stupid elitist fly fishermen don't even know when they are being ridiculed. Kinda takes all the fun out of making fun of them.
So is this like a road hunting setup for fly fishing? Seems like it goes against the condescending nature of the fly fishing crowd.Seriously, why? Everytime I see an angler pull a rod out of one of these at the river, they still spend 30mins tying on whatever setup they're fishing with that day. What is the purpose vs a regular rod case you can just throw in the back of a truck and/or Subaru? What am I missing here other than a lot of hardware just to tell the world you're a fly fisherman?

I have tubes made of PVC pipe for each of my three fly rods. None of the rods are tossed loose in the tubes. Each rod first goes into a cloth bag with separate compartments for each section.I would think that your rod would sure get banged around a lot in one of those carriers.

It does require some skill level well above a spinning rod, much like bow vs rifle hunting.
