Flap et al,
I have never understood why some of us that put in above average amounts of time fishing seem forget about the fly rods from time to time. I have adopted the routine that the fly rod is just another weapon in the buggy. Ther are times when it is the right weapon for the circumstances and other times when it makes smaller fish a challenge. Why decide to do one or the other. Why not just keep a variety of tackle in the buggy and mix it up a bit.
An example is a creek on Cape cod that is just a romantic place that I love to fish. Most oftern the fish there are small and the fly rod makes the experience so much more satisfying. This time of year I take the 1204 Arra and some eels in that spot.
My point is that it is all good and that is what makes a "fisherman" in my book. Variety in both location and technique keeps me into positive fishing and a high catch rate.
