Wet flies and dry flies? Another Newbie here to ask a question abut fly fishing. I am going to give fly fishing a go and try my luck at some trout fishing this summer. The standard I know is to use a fly & bobber. If one of you fly fisherman can tip off a newbie on the difference between dry and wet flies? Also, what should I be using here in Arkansas during the summer?…….any suggestions on what type or color?

What is up with all the Catch and release fishing cry babies? The money that we anglers spend to buy license makes it profitable for the fish & wildlife to stock  trout and salmon into our rivers, lakes, and streams. because of human expansion into the natural spawning grounds, all fish would not be able to exist without sportfishermans license funds. So why don’t all you bleeding heart liberals find a more noble and important cause than trying to save a fish from getting a hook in the mouth? In short, would a fish defend you if I snagged a hook in your mouth?
