Talking superstitions & lucky charms

We fishermen & ladies are a superstitious lot. So it would be interesting to here about them if you have any.
I have my lucky hat, that i have worn over the past 10 or so years. The missus washed it once, it never felt right for weeks. I've bought a couple of new hats, but still go back to my old faithful hat. The comp guys on here must have some beltters.

I will not have anything to eat until I've caught my 1st fish. I go home starving a lot of the time!!!

hmmm, not superstitious maybe but i have to "feel right" - all that confidence travels down the line gives great results

Never, ever, take boiled eggs on a boat in South Africa!


Me, I cant eat or take a pee until I have had a fish.

I always cast the line without a fly on a couple of times before tying on my flies
