To be honest the fly bored me to tears until i started catching fish on it....i catch fish all year long throwing jigs,cranks,etc. and just like the thrill of trying a new method of catching fish....and catching those big browns on a 10ft spinning outfit is a thrill...ive caught brownfish all summer on heavy action baitcasting gear and just occasionally get the itch for something different...i've never tried to offend anyone on this site and im pretty sure i never have and mhall i didn't take your post as critical...i will be on the water with the fnf tied up this weekend and am thoroughly looking forward to it
