To halt any false - interpretative - confusion. From the main board last week under tuesday fishing.
Yup, Namby Pamby. Whiney, The wind is too strong, the flies are too big, the tide is too - something, the wind isn't helping, droppers are too difficult, I will void my guarantee if I don,'t use the line marked on the rod, The bait is too small, the bait is too big, they are leader shy, I will just watch for now, I only fish flats, I am a sight fisherman, Your hooks are not expensive enough, there is too much bait, there is not enough bait, the fish have left, the fish have not arived yet, the fish are too full, the fish are not hungry enough, fish around here are different than where i fish, The surf is not the same here, th rivers are not the same here, the flats are not the same here, Fish have changed their habits from when I used to fish in the old days, I only fish sinkinglines, I only fish intermediate lines. I always fish for breaking fish, my pliers cost 250 bucks, I don't have a hook file, Do I need one?
the waves are too big, the waves are too small, the waves make it hard, the waves make it impossible, I caught five hundred fish last year and I know everything, the water is too warm, I never heard that there are fish here in summer, 3/0's are to big to catch fish, The leader is too short, I only use Bimini twists, I never have caught a keeper but my casting instructor told me that he did,
I love fishing and I want to be a guide! I think that zinc oxide on your nose looks cool, Do you think its going to rain and ruin everything? I don't like bait fishermen, I don't like spin fishermen, I don't like crowds, i don't like being alone, i don't like fishing in the dark,
Will you take my picture with your fish?
"Namby Pamby," is why regular fishermen avoid talking to fly fisherman whenever they can.
Namby Pamby fly fishermen are the only ones who believe they are the elite.
They are impeccably dressed and versed in fly speak.
They are the, "Namby Pamby," Elite. It is an old, "Yankee," term from a kinder and gentler time.
They travel in packs.
