You Might Be a Fly
Fisher If…

Reprinted from the November 2003 edition of
the FFF Clubwire.
Your wedding party had to tie tin cans
to your drift boat.
Your local fly shop has your credit card
number on file.
You keep your wading staff by your
favorite chair to change the TV channels
with.
Your local fly shop has a private line
just for you.
You have a photo of a 10 lb. rainbow
on your desk at work instead of your
family.
You consider Vienna sausage and
crackers a complete meal.
You think megabytes means a great
day fishing.
You send your kid off to school with his
shoes tied in a blood knot.
You think there are four seasons:
1) Fly
tying & dreaming,
2) Fly tying & waiting,
3) Fly tying and getting your equipment
ready and, finally,
4) Fishing but you have to tie some extra flies, just to be
safe.
You trade the family van for a smaller
vehicle so your pontoon boat and drift
boat will fi t in the garage.
Your kids know it's Saturday because
both boats and your float tube are gone.
