“As part of an online forum at The New York Times, a number of people are proposing that fly fishermen use flies that are not attached to a hook. They say this would still allow the angler the pleasure of fooling a trout into striking the artificial bug, but would not impale and hurt the fish. They say too it would not result in the fish becoming tired from the fight that would ensue when a real hook is used.”…”In Germany, for instance, catch-and-release for sport is illegal, and fish are only caught as a food source.” Michael A. Sawyer @ Cumberland Times News

I just wrote the definitive, profanity laden response to the above articles content. I thought better of it. It speaks for itself. ‘The moment’ would devolve into the civilized kill or transient bump/slurp. Not for me. Such damn nonsense….yet, you can’t turn your back on these educated fools and sensitive types…shit, I almost took off again.
