if you really want to catch a fish that bad then so be it , however the point of fly fishing for most people is the added challenge and the sense of accomplishment after catching a difficult fish. using scent would diminish this feeling , but again if you want to there is nothing wrong with using scent , its just less of an accomplishment which is fine with many people. and anyway who gives a rats ass what other people do as long as its not affecting you. You guys here must be getting desperate for storys if this is what ur sinking to, an irelavant pointless debate about personal opion, really.
