ORIGINAL: dru2112 maybe. i can think of a lot of conditions where a fly rod is better than a pin. Really? Name a lot, or even some. you're a little punk aren't you? 1) no flow 2) crowded conditions 3) small, tight mid to upper reaches of some streams/ all of some streams there's 3 off the top of my head. and no, you're smart remark answer is not correct. #1 - I can generally always find flow...and you're right, if there were none it would be real tough without a drift. BUT, where ther is "no" flow which is rare...you will not find me. #2 - I can generally always find a place to fish and have enough room if I really felt I wanted to use my pin. I certainly do not swing or flale my rod around as to hit other people in the face...lol #3 - I typically don't fish these areas you mention. i don't care if you can always find flow. he asked to name a situation that exists in erie where a fly rod excels over a pin. i don't care if you can generally always find enough room. again, he asked me to name a situation that occurs in erie where a fly rod is better. i don't care what either of you say, some of the lower reaches of elk on a weekend in october are too crowded to pin. and i don't care if you typically don't fish these areas. if anyone think a pin beats a fly rod on the upper reaches of elk, particularly in the mid spring when there is no flow combined with tight quarters, i challenge you to a fishing contest. LOL...I don't care wht you say either, but over any extended period of time, the float fisher will ultimately catch way more fish(that includes a guy with a float rod and spinning reel)....back to what I originally was trying to say that "pinning was a more effective way of catching more fish in any significant amount of numbers" You brought in the whole specific "conditions" factor. I don't care what the conditions are, over any extended period time, a good float fisherman will catch more fish than a good fly fisher bottom line. Was just trying to be nice about it, for you more sensitive types, the first time around. Oh yeah, and I'm not talking about the guy whos fishing with a fly rod, with a bobber, drifting eggs and roll casting everytime fishing just like a float fisherman would execept with a fly rod. Wait a minute....yes I am, I'm talking about him too!
