Surley using lires is just another metod of spinning?I have been reading the posts about using indicators and i feel that lure fishing combines less skill.
I just wonder how many of the non indicator users/haters actually use lures and think that it is a form of skill?
thoughts?

Suppose using a indicator is just float fishing?

actually, spinning is just another form of lure fishing....

spinning is a form of fishing with a blade that revolves around an axis/body of some sorts..

Hi big tool. Sorry to disappoint you mate, but there ain't no skill in fly fishing. What there is, you may be surprised to hear, is fair numbers of guys and gals who look around, shop around, absorb and assimilate information to enable themselves to consistently catch fish whilst others are farting about with mystical ancient techniques and deluding themselves by thinking that they are in some way superior and devilishly 'skilled'.
If you want to wave a cane rod around with a slik line attached to a quaint spider than that's great. If you actually enjoy it and it catches fish for you, then that's even better. Don't for one minute though ever assume that you're more 'skilled' than the man who drives fish potty with a couple of blobs when no amount of entomological chicanery will get so much as a second glance from a fish.
I truly believe that the vast majority of anglers would much rather catch fish by eliciting a feeding response - it makes sense, and it's fun. Good anglers though know when the fun is over, or if it's ever gonna get started and deploy the flies, lines and methods to suit the conditions and the fish. We all have our favourite methods and flies, and that's great... fly fishing covers such a huge array of techniques and species etc that we can't all be great at everything. We can all learn from each other though, and there is much that a lure specialist can teach a dry fly wizzard, and vice versa.... if one wants to learn that is.
If you can get a fish to open its gob and shut it around your offering... when the 'skilled' anglers are going home with a dry net, then that's good enough for me.

Thank's for that Scratch could'nt have put it better myself


Wully

Yeah i totally agree with you Scratch

Yep, well said scratch

i think thats it in one mate ....well said

Yep Scratch , There has been many a day I have come in and had the craic with the other fellas . We get talking and sometimes a lot have blanked as they would stick to dries all day even when it was not the right conditions for them .
When I tell them I have caught X amount that day they have a great interest until the point I mention I was on wets .
They then look at me as if I have just landed and as if I was cheating in some way or have less skills ( maybe I do but who caught the fish )
I would rather catch on dries but if it is a "wet" day to catch fish and not blank then so be it ...........

PS: No lure fishing as in lure made from fluff tied round a hook is no way a form of spinning.
