You're the Fly Fisherman Elite. Why don't you start it? It can be called "Friday's Fly Shop."

I've been fly fishing as well as tying my own flies since I was 11 y.o. (1978) and I've seen just as many fly fishermen being inconsiderate, incompotent morons as I have other fishermen.It really seemed to increase in the late '80s - mid '90s when there was a large influx of yuppie newbies to the sport.The OPs argument goes both ways.The last time I fished the Deckers/Trumbull stretch of river some flyfishing newbie jerk-off hooked a fish in the pool above where I was fishing and, without even thinking twice about it, proceeded to play his fish right through the water I was fishing without even an "excuse me" or "sorry".
