You're right - everyone in this country has a voice, it's just a shame that you feel the need to use yours to try and outlaw things other people hole near and dear to their hearts. Fly fishing, and fishing in general, bring familes closer together. How is that bad? Just because that's not the way you would do it doesn't make it bad. It's also a shame the only way we can keep the right to chose to fish is to use our voices in an attempt to be louder than you. If you're against creulty to animals, don't kick a puppy or fish or hunt or wear fur or vote Republican or whatever else is on your agenda for the day. You're not going to convince anyone here that what we do is cruel so please leave us alone. We'll decide what we think is cruel and what isn't.
JMHO

P.S. What do fish voices sound like?

Tnanks for the replies. I know that some of you were not serious. I have heard from s few people that this was a good list. And although i don't agree with the practice of fishing or any other form of cruelty to animals - I am at least willing to hear your side of the argument. I do not woork for peta. I am a member and support what they are for. Please don't see my comments as being from peta.
I don't believe that all of you drag hooks across fish and spike fish in thje ground. Now is your chance to be honest and tell how you kill the fish. If you are being cruel than there are laws that forbid it and YOU CAN BE REPORTED!!! DO NOT FORGET THAT EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY HAS A VOICE! Even fish. Just because they are fish doesn't mean that they don't have feelings and rights.
I have stated my purposes for being here. i am willing to listen to your argument and let you try to convince me that you are not being barbarians. Although from what I've seen so far I doubt any of you could MAKE a convinving argument for your case.
