CT I'd say don't worry about which is better but rather try both styles and see which you prefer. I've done both fly and float and determined I'd rather float fishing than lobing flyies. My personal preference but its a choice I do not regret.ChasinTails said:
I've stuck to resident trout with my 5/6 wt fly rod. But instead of dropping wayyyyy too much on a spey / two handed rod for salmonoids - I am picking up a float rig (okuma rod/reel, thanks iJay 
) for less than 200 bucks!
Now I get the flexibility, pleasure and hook-ups of both techniques, and I will be able to try both for whatever fish I please.
I would love to see the battle though! Definitely something I would tune in for. Maybe at the OFF meet-up :razz: .
Edit: I am curious - if guys are saying pinners will succeed in the long run, what are the metaphysical / pleasure benefits of either rig? Is it more of a challenge (and how) to catch these bigger fish on a fly rod ?

And so the usual suspects chime in...well done, and you know who you are...
I fish the fly because it seems an unending learning curve...check out the story of Xeuxis and Parhassios and then post your "opinion"...fly, pin, hardware, whatever's good crack for you...
Peace

Don't see the point of this thread honestly. Some love pinning some love flyfishing. this will be an endless debate...some are really good at pinning...some are really great fly fishing. I have a spinning gear, I have a fly fishing gear and now have a centerpin gear. i'm not trying to be an expert of all of this...on any given day, i'd say one will work better than the other. It's all about personal choices.
Why don't we start a thread on Basketball vs. Golfing. Both your playing with balls?
Its a personal preference, just like if you are to wear a blue sweater vs a red sweater. I do poke fun at the "Fly fishers=Mean girls" however its more of a personality thing, not so much to do with the sport or equipmnet for that matter.
To me the idea of fly fishing isnt my cup of tea, I have tried it and find that I do enjoy float fishing ALOT more than lobbing flies all day.

The float setup, rigged with a centerpin allows you to cover long stretches of water. You can also set it up in a way which allows you to get your bait into the strike zone fast. The fly allows you to present the bait in a very natural way, allowing you to mimic a floating insect or fleeing minnow.Mobious said:

Whatever you enjoy best do it. Don't flack a guy for fishing the way they enjoy. I enjoy fly fishing and for me any other way of catching a fish is less enjoyable. I could catch 30+ inch rainbows all day on bait or hardware but for me is not as rewarding as catching them on a fly (on a fly rod). Bait will pretty much outfish any ther method. I have done it and still use hardware for salmon when situations call for it. But the fly is always my preference. TO EACH HIS OWN. Get out there, fish the way you enjoy best and, be respectful to others and the areas you're in. That's what gets me looking down on people more, not they're method of fishing.

the problem with me getting into pinning id have to drop a couple hundred for a good reel and double that for a rod i already fly fish and want to know if floating is more versatile which i guess it is, before i spend that kinda money, i didnt want to start a war here ( which i seem to have done )AKnook said:

that's a bit of a stretch $$$ if you're trying to get into pinning. I had a steelhead floatrod (streamside) for $70 brand new 11'6" and okuma raw ii for $180 for a total of $250 (tax inc.).ChasinTails said:

chasin........do you seriously need ANOTHER rod??? You are 14 and you have more, and better, rods than most of us adults here. Is another rod really that necessary.......?
