Well, it appears that some people may have that opinion. I never really thought of flyfishermen as snobs, but that's just me.

Read the full article and then be sure to post your comments here on the blog. I'd be curious to hear your opinions on this.

Are Fly Fisherman Really Snobs?:

- Bill Thompson

"It has become conventional wisdom that if one fly fishes, he or she must be some kind of snob. The mere mention of fly fishing conjures up the image of the portly fellow dressed in tweeds, standing in a stream waving an expensive bamboo stick in the air. The fly fisher would be the fellow at the cocktail party, still wearing his tweeds, recounting the details of his last fishing experience in great detail to a board acquaintance. "
