brownlining- trying to justify the use of a fly rod specifically for for "junk fish" when spinning or casting gear would be more appropriate.

"junk fish"- anything other than a trout to the snob, or anything other than the intended species for the warm water fisherman.

carp = river bonefish

water was too low - the fish keep spotting my indicator and are now spooked

According to my dad:

Fly fisherman = water whipper.

Dry fly fishing = whipping water into a froth.
