Mark,
I would say that the fly fishermen here at NEFF would not consider this method fly fishing this coming from a centre pinner.... give me a break, but bait fishing with a fly rod. If you were looking for support for this technique here, then you have come to the wrong place No kidding. That being said you would be best served to have stopped RIGHT HERE, if you have a client that is only interested in catching fish and not concerned about technique, then this method should help them catch the numbers they are looking for like a centre pinner is only concerned with doing while fishing.. numbers. Personally, if I were to come to Belize knew there was an underlying motivation to stay at your resort and fish with you, I would prefer the challenge of getting the fish to chase down my fly as I'm stripping it through the water and attack it now CD is a fly fisherman for fish. That's the challenge I would be looking for HUMmmmmmmm...... But, to each his own we know yours, and if you have clients that want to use scented flys or bait, then more power to them. If I were in your shoes, I would be careful about recommending this method to a client who is an avid fly fisherman like AK Skim, cause they might take it as an insult to their fishing abilities and lump him in with all those centre pinners. You would have to read your client and see what they are there for.
Let me know when you are offering free fishing trips to Belize. I would love to fish down there for tarpen or bones I knew it was coming.. I knew it.
