New To The Forum

[Trout Stalker]

Hello Everybody,

I am new to the forum. I live close to Kansas City, Mo and love to fly fish. I pefer dry flies first and then nymphs. I try to avoid throwing junk and I am not a fan of chuck-n-duck fly fishing. I try to be as traditional to the sport as I can.

Interesting you mentioned chuck-n-duck. Not many people know the term more or less have used it, or tried it.

In Michigan and Alaska where I use the technique, the only alternative is fishing with a float with weight to get and keep the fly on the bottom. I tried to out fish Jim in Alaska using a float and he beat me 8 to 1. But he usually beats me 3 to 1 when both of us are using the c-n-d method.

I see why some don't like it. But it's very efficient at catching fish in certain conditions.

I have nothing really against the chuck-n-duck method for those who choose to use it. IMO, I love to see the art of casting used to its fullest in flyfishing.

I thought it was the casting... and I agree with you in that sense. But I like to catch fish too.

We had a client in Alaska last season who would not use the c-n-d method and subsequently did not catch a fraction of the fish we did... but it really was ok with him. He had a great time as well.

Oh yea- welcome to OAF!!
