Had fun all day on the creek no flies spinning gear all day landed 4 real nice ones and plenty of 7-8 inch brooks one rainbow
just shows flies are over rated

What section of the creek were you fishing? I am thinking about heading up after work. I usually go to the Lair of the Bear and hike a 1/4 south along the path and have okay luck around there.

Funny, flies are overrated? Personal preference I guess, but I'll catch fish like this one with my overrated flies and my overrated 3 wt. fly rod. haha. Out of the creek too.

Fly fishing tests your ability. Spin fishing is way to easy. So how is fly fishing overrated?

Clayfisher and mc fishy

There is nothing easy or overrated about either method if you want consistent results. They are merely different tools to use to catch fish. Each has benifits and drawbacks depending on the situation and the angler's ability.

I can't stand the fly vs. spin arguments... bunch of elitist BS from both sides if you ask me!

Where on the Bear can you catch brookies? I heard they are above Evergreen Lake but I couldn't find anywhere that wasn't private property
