Bossman-
Nope, its not flyfishing. Sounds like you had a good time however. I wanted to let you know that not all of us that exclusively fly fish are "elitists". I spent 20 years gear fishing and was pretty good at it. I now only flyfish wherever possible... (halibut poses BIG problems!) I just enjoy myself more with the challenge fly fishing offers. "Elitist" sounds like your saying were all snobs just because we prefer to fish a certain way. Not true. In many, many trips fishing I have actually only seen a few flyfishers, with elitist attitudes. They annoy me as much as you. Do I fish with gear? not anymore. Do I care how others fish? Not if its legal.
