rector15,
i know what you mean man. i do a lot of flyfishing and see quite a few people who are way to drawn up fishing. One example is my dad; he loves to flyfish when we're out for trout in the Sierras but most of the time he prefers to use a light spinnin' rod & a barbless lure. a lot of guys are nice but then again a lot give him some nasty stares and remarks. he's a great fisherman & often outfishes most of us "fancy" flyfisherman. And not to mention, when it come to C&R, he beats most them anyways. I think it's just a want attitude. People don't get to relax enough in life & when they get out the water they are greedy and forget all equiette. but remember, just because a couple guys are rude doesn't mean we all are. Tight lines.
