The pecking order

[saxmatt]

I've done it all, from fly fishing to using live bait to catch fish for the table. I think if you aren't willing to experiment and learn how to use different techniques and gear you are only limiting yourself as an angler. The guys who are at the top of the pecking order are the ones who can adapt to every fishing situation. The anglers who only fish one way and think their way is the best, well...I'll let them keep on thinking that and I'll keep on learning and catching big fish.

Myself i rather fight a fish on a flyrod and actually find out what the fish are feeding on and when and really dial in on them,(especially when stuffs hatching) but its not always that easy so for those times i fish with the spinning rod or if i only have a short amount of time and wanna cover alot of ground quickly . If i know the fish are holdin and are there i fish the fly/spey rod. I do whatever it takes, also people have it in their heads in my opinions big fish want big baits most o the time this is true but ive seen and caught some monster fish on some of the smallest flies too so.....as stated above if you dont try other things and do it all ur limiting yourself as a angler totally agree 100%
