I can't believe that none of you that fish the salt have ever heard about this or encountered it. They say that dry fly fishermen are close mouthed and elitist sheeeeeeeesh , I never encountered a group of folks as close mouthed about their sport as salt water fly fishers. Why is that? I have a few ideas , can you believe that? One of my theories is that alot of folks either depend on it for a living or have friends who depend on it for a living , am I right about that so far? I guess a regular old dry fly fisherman could make a living behind it , in fact I know a few who did , the thing is as I was told a long time ago if you try and do this for a living you will never have time to do the kind of fishing you like to do by yourself. Sooo since it's a hobby for me by choice I give away anything another angler needs , especially information , including streams which makes some folks angry. I don't want to hear any more about how dry fly fishers are snooty and secretive and elitetist , younz salties got a lock on that. This question is not asking for your favorite ling cod hole , this question could save someones life.
