Bluegrass is too good for fly fishing videos...
However, it is the only thing that gets me past the 00:37:21 mark on most FF videos so I'd be all for Angine de Poirtine or possibly the Grateful Dead music because it would save me a combined 1.9 minutes a week...

That's fake news. 😉

The good ol' algorithm sent me a recent YouTube short from the guy I first complained about in this thread, and he outright admits he hasn't fished in a year. I feel vindicated in my initial assertion that this pretty large scale tying influencer has never fished. I stand by it.
"But that's not what I came to tell you about..."
On the social media front, anyone notice the HUGE reaction to Winston's nude.. I mean new... viral marketing strategy? This controversy has amazing potential for every party involved to prove themselves completely asinine and awful. Looking forward to it

I was always on the fence about HUGE
But I was way way impressed with him .
I thought he did a really fine job of pointing out the absurdity of Winston's move , supporting females who fly fish and not crucifying said OF lady .

I agree he handled the most important parts of the issue tactfully, even if I think it's a bit of the pot calling the kettle black (in terms of his also sorta parasitic influencer role).
However, do I think the rest of the fly fishing world is capable of responding / engaging the topic without making complete fools of themselves? I do not (and I'm waiting with bated breath to see it).

Meh it's kinda an old hat in my opinion , is it really any different from the cover posted on here not long ago of a 60s sporting magazine with a nude woman fly fishing ... as he said it's been used in the outdoors industry for a long time as a marketing gimmick .

The Orvis IG account is hinting at some sort of “big announcement” tomorrow involving Tom Rosenbauer. I hope he’s not announcing retirement, particularly from the weekly podcast.

But wouldn't we, maybe, want it to be different?? If everyone in the fly fishing industry responds to the Winston / OF woman's partnership with: "yes, of course, sexualized imagery has always been used to sell male-dominated sports," then I think, for me, that falls under the category of "making fools of themselves" that I stated above. (And I wholly believe many more ridiculous opinions about her will be prevalent out there.)
I'm leading myself down the rabbit hole that I above described will make most men say ridiculous things, as I fully believe the role of women in fly fishing should be determined by women and not by dorks like me, but I have to wonder who brings more people of all demographics into fly fishing (if that's a measure of anything): a young woman, just learning to fish, deeply embedded in social media life - which, frighteningly, many young people seriously envision as a career - or a middle-aged white dude from Colorado that has hundreds of hours of content of naming fish "Larry" with other middle-aged white dudes (which I also frequently watch). Maybe Winston can sponsor both her and more accomplished female guides/anglers? Isn't that happening?
I'm not trying to defend influencer culture. Maybe my point is just that they're both ridiculous but also fine. Also, I can't afford Winston rods, so whatevs.
