Centerpinning!

Yeah, that's a problem.  Most of the hard core guys have two or three.  One for salmon, one for general use, and one smaller one for little tribs.  I just switch the reel over to different rods.

I'll probably only ever get one. I fly fish for salmon and inland trout

I used to fly fish, then I got pin.  Once you turn to the dark side, there's no going back.....

It's funny because my friend is trying to convince me of the exact opposite. I'm still holding dearly to my pins haha.

Actually, when they are on the move, in the riffles, or actively hitting bugs on the top, the fly rod wins.  In all other circumstances, the pin is a more efficient tool for putting meat and potatoes on the table.  Plus, you don't have to brag how your fly was right in the fish's mouth to prove that you aren't a snagger, lol.  Pretty tough to floss one on a float rig.

Unfortunately, that is not the case out here. Many people floss them here with float rigs either drifting through holes where they stack (and using a long leader) or picking them out of white water pockets. Spinning, baitcasting, centerpinning, fly fishing, they've all been proven flossing methods if the intent is there. If anything, the baitcasters and pinners have somewhat of an advantage as they can just keep drifting until their hook runs into a fish.
