You know you are addicted to FLY FISHING when........................

[Simms]

.......you find yourself roll casting the vaccuum cord accross the living room....



(I was cleaning the apartment this evening and I found myself roll casting the cord everytime I need to switch rooms to reposition LOL)

 

[Joe D]

Being up at midnight tying up bugs and tuned in to fly fishing websites is another indication...

 

[AKSkim]

Turning on the interior light in the car while driving to see what bugs are hitting your windshield.

 

[trico mike]

Casting on the front lawn with a piece of yarn attached to the tippet trying to catch the neighbors cat.

 

[coolkyle]

I scare my neighbors with all the strange tubes I keep transporting between my apartment and my car.

LOL. I think I'm a fly fish addict because I do that thing.

 

[Trout Fever]

do they have a rehab for guys like us?

 

[Joe D]

No rehab needed!

You know you're an addict when you're 1/2 hour late for your wedding due to spectacular fishing...

 

[CMoser]

One of 2. Either I hope your kidding or you have just as an understanding wife as I. My wife actually let me go bow hunting to ILL. 3 mo after twins were born. Of course I dont play that card often.

Simms:

You might want to consider purchasing a Joan Wulff FLY-O

The Fly-O practice rod from Wulff is a 3' rod with 15 feet of bulky fluorescent yarn for casting practice. Requiring the same timing and nearly the same strength to push the yarn through the casting motions, it simulates fly tackle perfectly. For off-season or brush-ups. New instruction booklet by Joan Wulff included.

I even practice single handed spey casts while watching the Devils or Rangers games.

I was born when my father was on a bear hunting trip in Maine. My mom as well as my GF understand.... lol thank god

She must be understanding. That was 30 years ago. I also had a similar thing, 3 weeks after my daughter was born I was off on a wilderness elk hut.

I don't play that card often too often either, but once in awhile it's kinda nice

AK,

The Fly-O is a fun toy to have laying around... much more useful than a Slinky.

 

[D'ANGLER]

.....you can't drive over a single stream, ditch or puddle without rubbernecking to wonder if they might be holding trout.
.....your GPS has hundreds of fishing way-points set in favorites.

You know you addicted to fly fishing when you cut a tuff of fur off of you cat because you like the color of it.( I actually did this).

I guess a dog would count too... I knew a guy (unfortunately now deceased) who did that to his girlfriend!

 

[Karel]

...when you test cast that furled leader you just made with your tenkara rod in the dining room

 

[danme]

When you see a dead squirrel on the road and cut his tail off then tell your wife to do the same thing if she see them dead on the road -- Or you see a dead porcupine and stop to pick up the QUILLS --- YAE they work great for QUILL GORDENS and they dont split like BLEACHED PEACOCK (OOPS Did I just give away one of my secrets) -- LOL

Peace
Dan

[Pete]

When the accounting department reviews your travel expenses, and questions the receipt for an out of state fishing license.

(correct explanation = entertaining a customer)

 

[Simms]

...............when you plan you college/grad school classes around fall run steelhead and spring trout fishing... aka, mondays and fridays off

 

[skipper3245]

I am not addicted, but my friend ties a bug with his pubic hair...no joke. i refuse to fish with it, but he spanks em on the Missouri with it.

That wins my vote. A man that can do that has no limits.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

....when you interrupt a meeting with your fiance and your wedding planner in order to identify the bugs outside on the screen.

 

[Simms]

..................When you say you need a weekend to thing about things with the girlfriend, indicating the relationship isn't working out(but it really is), just so you can be on the river for the spring drop backs when they drop the water to 750cfs

 

[steve b]
