Hey folks-
Outside of the obvious jug lines, trot lines, yo yos, etc... that are very effective, what type of fishing do you think is more suitable/sustainable for a "modern survivalist" to master, fly or bait-casting?
The reason I as is that I enjoy both, but would like to "master" one or the other. I can't master both because of time and money right now. From my perspective, there are advantages for each type of fishing. Fly fishing has the element of using natural items to make your own baits (flies). I also think that a crude fly rod could be more easily constructed and maintained than any type of baitcasting rig (say a spinning reel or baitcaster). Also, there is really no mechanical parts that are absolutely necessary to fly fish. A serviceable fly line could be made from a number of materials. On the flip side, bait cast fishing (with spinning reels, baitcast reels, live bait and/or artificial bait) is much more efficient and one can fish more effectively from the bank if no watercraft is available. Also, casting is simpler to master than fly-casting (not a big deal for me either way as I have been fishing both ways for a while now). Also, bait-casting generally allows you to fish deeper than fly fishing opening up more of the water column to the angler.
I'm just curious about what y'all think. If this has been asked already, please direct me to the thread. Thanks!
