George -- I'd certainly be glad to see more info from, as you call yourself, a "non-elite."
As I mentioned to you at the first Pond Boss Conference, I cast like I learned who to use a bull whip. No finesse. I mostly don't use flies -- I like to use redworms from my compost pile. As a consequence, I just use a flyrod setup to try and trick fish by using worms on a very light tippet/leader, without any weights, and without any kind of bobber. I'd be embarassed to do this in public waters where somebody might see me.

Ken, my thoughts, in order to encourage maximum participation in the fun of pond fly fishing, was for this topic to be all inclusive.
My definition of a fly is anything that can be cast on a fly rod with a fly line.
This would include everything from an earthworm to a realistic work of art �fly�
Seems like I remember the old Field and Stream magazines showing worms on hooks, spinners and all kind of stuff.
I would not hesitate to toss anything with a fly rod - short of a DuPont spinner that is�
Cheers,
George
