Default How much does fly-fishing mean to you?
I've always been a believer that fishing's either in your blood or it's not. If it's not, you may enjoy it, you may even appreciate it, but you will never need it. Those that don't 'get it' will never get it. Am i being daft here?

It's the amphibian costumes that are borderline.

I would agree, scietists would call it the obsessive gene

Fly fishing is just one of life's little treats. I have many others but to say I am obsessed is a little overkill. In order of preference;

Children
Wife
Shooting
Fishing
Banjo ukulele
General tinkering
Cross dressing
Rugby
Cooking
Drinking

I have had to go with the borderline fetish answer...

i always have a fly fishing related book on the go, when i go online the first thing i check is the forums...

I need to fish at least weekly... and on more than one occasion Mrs pimp has come downstairs at some ungodly hour to fing me hunched over my laptop...

"are you looking at p0rn???"

"No......"

"Huhhh... If i grew some fins would you pay me a bit more attention ?"

Love fishing but don't live for it. One of the very good things in life, not the be-all and end-all.

Like fly fishing, love dry-fly fishing and love to be away from the rodent race. Must admit though that my all-time favourite fishing was trotting on the Trent for roach and chub.
