well i tied my sacs a few days ago..so my keyboard shouldnt be too dirty...u mind telling us how great fly fishing is?  especially when the water is super high or super low?

 
Oh now I understand why you guys dont post questions here. It is because questions get answered with questions. That will get you guys nowhere. So I will do something different and actually give an answer to your question. Fly fishing is indeed great. There is no better feeling when I get a player to strike my swung fly. I know that there is no chance of a snagged fish and I know that I didnt force feed the fish by repeating drift after drift banging him in the nose until he is lined. My fly is in the middle to upper portions of the water column.  I know for fact that the fish saw my presentation and it sparked an emotion to strike. Just to inform you I am not a PA E N so high water doesnt keep me home. Or running to smaller "criks" that clear faster. If you look at the given information on my favorite river to fish on any tackle shop site it says that it fishes best between 300 and 650 cfs. Just fishable at 800 cfs. Well I start swinging and picking up fish in the up wards of 1200 and 1300 cfs. Most of the stupid bait guys throwing them stanky eggs wont even fish it at that. So you are barking up the wrong tree on being a smart azz about high water. Now on the other end of the spectrum the low flows. Well I got to give it to you on that one a little bit. It is not because I cant pull fish when the water is low it is because it is boring to me. Swings are very slow and the runs are much shorter. I can not cover a lot of water in a short period of time like I can in higher water.  That same river I love at 1200, I pull fish when it is at 50 cfs just in a different way. I will get a single hand rod out and indicator fish most of the time. Not really what I am into anymore so I just choose to spend time with the family or pump out some flies. Hope that answered your question. You did a great job on answering mine by the way.

Maybe I confused you in my request. I will type it again, maybe you'll understand this time.
 
Tell me how great pinning is. I dont really know how much simpler I can phrase it. My sentence only contains 6 words. 4 of them have 4 letters or less, 1 has 5 letters and the longest has 7 and that word is   p i n n i n g.  Little help here please.

SWINGER, Why are you putting down pinners? I don't hear any pinners putting down fly fishing. If you look at pin fishing it is the same as fly fishing with a nymph under a bobber, other than you swing across the flow, where a pinner lets his float go with the flow. Oh I am sorry (bobber) strike indicator sounds better, I think. I center pin because it is what I do and I enjoy doing it, the same as you must enjoy what you do or you wouldn't do it. I also center pin because I will out fish you and your fly rod any day of the week, the only time you will out fish me is when the fish are feeding on top and taking dry flys. When I hook up on a fish it me again the fish , no drag,only me and the fish on a line with only my hands and rod to control the fish, unlike you with a drag. I have nothing again people who fly fish. I am 66 years old and I enjoy catching fish. I never take any fish, all are C AND L. That is why I center pin,to catch a lot of fish and center pinning is the way to do it.

Good job mx you answered my question. Pinning is great because you can pummel fish.
 
Noodle one says pinning is great because you will "out fish me and my fly rod any day of the week. "I say OK. You can catch more fish than I. Doesnt bother me at all. I never thought fishing was a competition.  CP is better because "unlike you and your drag." I know you have at least used a spinning reel in your 66 years of life, so you know about the drag adjustment. It is possible to loosen the drag you know. If not having a drag on the reel is such a rush, why are they now coming with drags?When I am fighting a fish all I use is my palm as well so there is really no difference there.  In conclusion you said you cp to "catch a lot of fish." OK if thats what you nead. Thanks for your time.
 
Looking for more please.

I will get a single hand rod out and indicator fish most of the time.

Allright mister elitest fly guy i'll bite seeing as though you just seem to be a troll on these boards. I bet your the chartist also. Anyways how great is pinning its SO GREAT that I would never want to fish with an AHOLE like you. Pinning is so great that I cant get enough and I would fish with my pin anywhere I can and oh by the way your ohio river you fish is fished by far more pinners then water slappers like yourself and if you stop to think for a minute I quoted you because your just like us when the water is low you use an indicator I thought the elite dont need those maybe you should switch to dry flies when the water is low or maybe better yet STAY HOME like you have all season because your river is running low. NOW STAY OUTA HERE!!!

 
You are way off base on the chartist thing by the way. But to get to a more serious matter. Pinning is great because " I would never want fish with an AHOLE like you" Thats fine by me guy, not on here looking for pinner friends. Just looking for reasons why pinning is great. "Pinning is so great I cant get enough and would fish with my pin anywhere I can." Thats the reason why pinning is so great? I dont think your answer, answers anything at all. It just kind of states you like pinning.  ????????     You kind of lost me after that. Without the use of periods or comas your words just run and run. I proof read it though. Looking for an explanation of why pinning is so great, but unfortunately but not surprisingly. I didnt find one.

Why are you looking for more do you want to start pinning also or were you looking in your.... well I'd better not say

 
 
I can not understand you when you don't use  . or ,
 
 

I think pinning is great because it allows me to catch numbers of steelhead. I also enjoy it alot. I spend somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 to 400 hrs a year chasing musky catching a fish somewhere around every 15 to 25 hours fished, so when i head out to lake erie or lake ontario i'm looking to catch fish,plain and simple, pinning has been the most successful tactic for me. Before i started i leaned more towards fly fishing for them than noodle rods, as well as fly fishing for trout. I've lost alot of my passion for flyfishing over the past 5 or more years. Pinning is not just a steelhead thing for me either, basically i've caught cats,carp,bass,walleye,sauger,sheephead,crappie and bluegills and of course lots of trout, fishing the pin. It can be used very successfully in certain situations for stream and river fishing, its not my go to choice of tackle for these fish but all can be caught with them.

Why is anybody wasting their time with this stupid Sh*t?


Swinger, I'm guessing you put that baby of yours to bed. You seem to have even more time to waste.

 I can relate because I love to musky fish. I dont troll all I do is cast. Trolling would for sure put more fish in the boat, but I just dont get the same rush. I love watching them fish hot on my bucktail as well as the low and slow follow. I watched my 51" follow and eat my buchertail feet away from the boat. Awsome plain and simple.
 
Thank you for taking the time and answering my question with the thought it deserves. I respect you.  You are a quality person. I hope you enjoy your season. By the way you know anything about that Revo Winch?

My self and pinner both helped people out in the last couple of weeks to put fish on the end of kids line(their first steelhead),when was the last time you paraded down the stream with your golden flyrod and helped someone out,took the time to rig their rod up for them,gave them tackle or put your rod in their hand,Swinger?

 
 I am not putting anybody on the stand here. So why do some have to talk themseves up as outstanding members of the community? I believe that I am being mistreated by some of you. Lets keep it on the original subjet please.  Boy you pinners are easily distracted. Does your mind wonder this much when you are watching that bobber? Just a question.
 
By the way. Dont hurt yourselves patting eachother on the back about helping out the new kid.  Mind you you are fishing in PA, so there really isnt that much of a challenge. A million fish stocked in those ditches. C'mon, lets be serious here. What did you do? Give him some floro. Change the depth of his bobber? Give him some fresh eggs? Switch up his shot pattern? It really doesnt matter what you did, it was nice of you. Just acting like a human, kind of rewarding huh?
