Fly fan here as well. Used to do a lot more when we lived in Frederick Md. Short ride to multiple creeks including my favorite, Big Hunting creek in Thurmont. that was 20 some years ago but i still have the 7 1/2' 3 weight St Croix I used. I remember the real work of trout was getting drag free. Lots of mending, flipping, etc. Probably a bit neanderthal but i enjoyed nymphing with indicators. Very exciting to watch that little ball of foam float over a big hole anticipating a sudden stop.

Moved back to the beach and got into saltwater with 9 weights. Took a long break to do spin/baitcast fishing but now getting back to it. It is a very, very pleasant way to spend time. And a nice casting rod feels soooo good.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
