What the hell is wrong with people. Fishing the south platte for trout with a spin cast is like trying to take a 1000 yard shot with a fricken BB gun. In the past two weeks I've seen dozens of these fools on the river, tearing crap up, snagging lures and and then leaving umpteen yards of line in the the water after snapping their line off... Seriously, get a Fn clue, put the POS down, and slowly back away from the stream.

If you can't fly fish, then you are not really fishing for trout in a mountain stream or river. You are simply in my and every other fly fisherman's way. You might get lucky and catch one fish. We are going to catch dozens and not leave shitloads of line everywhere. If fly fishing is too hard for you, find a lake or pond and leave the "too hard to cast a fly rod" type fishing to those of us that spent the time and energy to learn how to do the hard stuff. BTW, I taught my daughter how to do the hard stuff when she was ten, ya, you suck that bad. Now get away from my Fn river.
