Top 10 Reasons Why We're Not Cutting Edge

Top reasons why we aren't "cutting edge":

Please note that our opinions may sometimes differ from yours and we ask that there be no internet crucifixion or any type of cyber terrorism.

#1 - Three quarters of the staff have never owned a fiberglass fly rod. Those of us who have, haven't used one since we were in junior high. All of us are completely in agreement that we have no desire to ever fish cane or fiberglass again before we die. Look at them, yes, fish them, no! If you want retro, we can likely find a Model A for you drive to Vancouver in January. That should fill you up on retro for a while.

#2 -  None of us have beards. Most of us (including some that are almost 50) can't even grow one.

#3 - Our hats look like this:

       Not this:

#4 - We prefer stickers with fish spots, not fish skeletons.


#5 - We still prefer indicators to be dry flies.

#6 - We're still confused by what the differences are between Czech, French, and Polish Nymphing.

#7 - At no time will any of us ever make this sign for a fish photograph.

#8 - All of our personal fishing tippet is the same color (greenish), and no one here has ever fished 6X with nymphs. I think I might own 6X but I'm not sure where it is.

#9 -  The last time we used a swivel while fishing we were 12, and there was a Five of Diamonds on the end.

#10 -  To this day, even though forced to participate, we're completely freaked out and a little afraid of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
