I'm Special...
I fish left handed and tie all of my flies left handed. I also think left handed.
Is the reason I "out-fish" all of my right handed friends due to the fact that I am left handed?
Often feel pity when fishing with right handed people.

What I mean to say is, since I'm left handed and thus smarter, is that why I out fish the righties?

I concur!
It's a fact...lefties are more intelligent
But I will switch it up to give others a fighting chance.....

Yes, more intelligent than the average trout but that's about it!

No, the dumb fish are always on the left side. You know... like liberals and democrats. They are easy to catch over and over again, these spotted suckers are often confused with trout by left handed anglers. They will rise to any badly presented offering and somehow manage to hook themselves on the dullest rusty bare hook. Often known to rise to poplar fluff these dimwitted fish will also jump repeatedly at derelict broken off flies snagged in tree branches by left handed casters. On the other hand ( the right hand ) the wise and wiley hard to catch fish watch gleefully, nodding and winking as they tell lefty jokes.

Do you fish for suckerfish on the fly? If not, sorry you’re not smarter.

And on the left topic.....Remember the "Rhino Party" ....they had an idea, Have Canadians switch over to left side of the road (as in Europe) driving. The best part being a phase in starting with large trucks....

I think the real reason you "out-fish" all of your right handed friends is your friends leave early after they see what you're doing with your right hand.

Ya' - left handers, the most oppressed people in the world. Hated by many through the years. Roasted at the stake even.
But they are in revolt.
Coming to highway near you will be drivers asserting their left handed orientation by driving on the left hand side of the road.
And they will catch more fish only 'cause the trout on the the right handed side of the flow. Dumber over there. fatter too? Easier living without hussling.

Its very nice to see all of the support I'm getting from both sides of the pond.
I was a bit worried that some of the envious righties would put forth some disparaging comments, but as I always do, I chose my words carefully and left little room for dispute.
I am somewhat surprised by the comment made by "newflyfisherman".
Ouch! And after all the nice things I said about your baetis fly.
Was I surprised that Mr Flyguy chimed in? Nope.
Its good to have something to do when the mid-winter blahs set in.

left---right
Haveing spent over 30 years on nfld salmon rivers,The advantage goes to the lefties or righties depending which side you are on .IE Faceing up stream better for right handed on the right side.advantage goes to left handed on the left side.Biscay bay river for example is primarily a right handed river,just about impossible to fish on the left side,for miles and miles.not so important for trout fishing ,but the long hard casting for salmon its a distinct advantage.

Damn right you special. Only 10 % in the population. You even tie your flies backward. Every damn thing you do is backward.
Get real and turn right before the conformists hunt ya' down.
You do know lefties are not tolerated in Alberta.

Funny. I too am left handed and remember an incident that makes me think you might be onto something.
A friend picked me up and we drove over an hour to a trout hole and within a few minutes I proceeded to catching trout while my right handed friend struggled. I gave him the exact same fly and let him fish where I was standing and he couldn't hook into a trout. I went back to the spot and caught another 3 trout in 10 minutes. In 30 minutes of fishing I had caught 12 trout total and my friend had only one bite. Righty got mad and piped up ,"Let's go!!!" It was a real quiet ride home. Long drive for 30 minutes of fishing.

That website is an amazing piece of satire. I'm not sure how much of it is created by the main author and his circle, and how much has just "taken off" via enthusiasts of his creation. 47 pages on that thread alone, which has been going since 2010.

Funny you mention it. There was a famous study done out of Orillia Ontario that shows fish have better right vision then left and due to the mirror affect water has on light defraction means flies cast from the left have a 71% increased hooking rate.
My left handed buddy is the exact same way. Most people ignore science in fishing stats so great for you to bring up these facts.
Also rivers flow west to east and a lefty walking upstream casting will gravitate to the southern bank which is shaded and has 74% more fish then the sunny north Bank.

Your statements must be true.
You have percentages and everything.
