SYNTHETICS

Recommended Posts

I figured it out, I just loose a lot more flys because I am a terrible at nymphing:) Thanks for the debate and I hope no one got pissed or took it too seriously. Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas.

ps: Maybe I am too old, my avitar is the USS Indianapolis. I was not on it but had a little to do with the end result of it's cargo. Now that was some pollution.

2) no one here is advocating throwing the bag in the water and leaving it there on purpose.....

 

 

uh...actually, i am advocating that! :devil:

 

I just have to ask? Will anyone be saving the tinsel from the Christmas tree this year to tie onto flies? If so, was that tree a fake, or real tree? because, we all know that you can never remove all the tinsel from the tree you killed before you send it out to the dump!

This I have resisted getting into this post because it just seemed argumentative, no offense, but the posting was a little harsh. I do not feel bad fishing synthetics since every time I fish at my favorite creek, which I call my church, I come back home with a vest full of others trash.

 

Beer cans, fishing line, soft plastics, plastic ducks (Yes the ones you see at a carnival with the number on the bottom), golf balls. Unfortunately, there is something entering the water that I can do nothing about and that is fertilizer from that golf course that also supplies all the golf balls. Now every year this clean, clear stream becomes an alge/weed clogged mess.

 

It makes me upset, because it is my church and I don't go into other peoples church and screw it up and call it recreation. I think pollution is a very valid point to get worked up about, but I tend to think about low hanging fruit first.
