Kerry, tying on an eyeless hook is no big deal now days with super glue, not that I have any reason too, except to satisfy my curiosity. It was easier to tie the fly than find an eyeless hook. It was even easier to donate it to a tree branch.


This was 25 years ago.

I got trained fly fishing on the Deschutes River early 70s . Thought I had to learn all casting b.s. my buddy taught me just to flip off bank past clumps of grass. Amazing fishing. Purists suck! I troll flys whenever I can. Last week on Agency lake we were catching so many all the fly casters in drift boats started rolling around behind us to match our speed.

I live on a lake in the NW Washington and I get out to fish a few nights each week. I catch a handful of fish casting dry flies from the shore or throwing nymphs and dries from my float but I'm not killing it. Lately, my wife and I have been out kayaking quite a bit and I'm trolling wooly buggers behind my boat. Low and behold, I'm catching loads of fish. The problem is, it just doesn't feel like fly fishing. Maybe I watched A River Runs Through It a few times too many or maybe I'm a fly fishing romantic but in my mind, if I'm not casting and delicately landing a dry fly and watching a fish rise to take it, I just doesn't feel like I'm really fly fishing. What are your thoughts?
