I love casting flies and fishing with my fly rods. Not very good at it but it sure is fun for numerous species. In my area, pan fishing with float tubes and flyrods has really taken off.
A good friend of mine, who is big into fly fishing, had given me good inputs for my pond designs with regards to fly fishing them. When people come up and have never fished, they all love trying out fly fishing.
As far as the "snob" fly fisherman, IMHO, there is that element in every outdoor sport. My family loves to eat venison and I'm proud to say I shot 2 does last year off my food plots with my bow. Not for management purposes but for the thrill of harvesting with a bow and the table fare. With todays obsession in antler size, I am not even considered a "serious" bow hunter. Oh Well!
