The purist Purists
by William Crisp
I’m not the first one to say it but I believe it. There are angling purists but there is only one group of anglers who are pure. This demographic is special for a number of reasons. First off, few anglers get as excited about fishing season as they do and they are truly and sincerely all about the fishing.
Fly fishermen aren’t comfortable with the thought of stocked trout but don’t mind fishing over them. Bait fishermen aren’t comfortable with the thought of fly fishermen but don’t mind fishing with them. These purists don’t even pay attention to whom or what, they just fish.
