My sentiments exactly! A lot of fly fisherman have a holier than thou attitude!
Is why I was never interested in fly fishing early on, the people. Finally got into it last year and love it!
You run into those people, and even subsets of those people. They tend to congregate on "big name" waters so another plus to fishing small streams.
All fishing is good -
In Vermont, the Battenkill in the southwestern part of the State is a magnet for fly fishermen who tend toward the snobbish/elitist end of the spectrum, the Orvis crowd. OTOH, the White River is, IMO, a better trout stream and gets only a fraction of the action. If you can't find a mile or more of the White River for yourself, you aren't looking/trying, even on a weekend. During the middle of the week, you would be more likely to have between 5 and 10 miles of vacant water to yourself.
