THere's all kinds of controversies over getting the
fly to the fish.
Spin-fishing with a bubble and fly. Is it
fly-fishing?
Fly-fishing with a cork indicator- bobber
fishing?
Flyfishing with a yarn indicator- float
fishing?
Flyfishing a dropper under a floating dry fly-
still bobber fishing if they take the bottom fly?
Pulling your wooly-bugger behing your float-tube as
you fin-paddle- trolling?
Jimmy's question is on scenting the fly, which is
the point of interaction with the fish.

Hi guys
I call using an indicator bait fishing with a fly rod,
but I use them too.
Jimmy,
In Wyoming we try to catch trout with
flies. Scenting them would give you an advantage- so
much of an advantage that people use yarn puffs sprayed with scents to catch
trout in flyfishing-only waters around the parks areas.
How would you know the pattern works at all if
they were keying on was scent? The challenge/art is to tie a fly that
fools the fish, not his nose.
Just my personal thoughts.

Would sparying a little Smelly Jelly on your favorite trout
fly be considered "bait fishing"? The oil in the jelly would
certainly help a dry fly stay dry!
