Wasn't Dynamite was an import from Sweden, so is it not euro fishing also?DuPont spinner is the American way!
If I'd tied a hook to a thingamabobber I'd of caught several nice bull trout this year. Between that, and the split shot eaters, it became clear I needed to replace those parts of a rig with flies.If someone ever said "American nymphing", I would probably think of Thingamabobbers.
Nonsense:
"which includes streamer, bucktail, tube fly, wet fly, dry fly, nymph, popper and bug. The use of any other type of lure or natural or preserved bait, either singularly or attached to the fly, is expressly prohibited."
Bobbers not allowed...has to be a fly even foam "hoppers' are allowed but not bobbers.
