We're here to feed your addiction to the life, culture, and personalities of fly fishing. If you can't go fishing right now, we hope to be the next best thing.  Have at it, and let us know what you think.

TOP 10: Responses when telling someone you're a fly fisherman

Top Ten: Responses when telling someone you're a fly fisherman

#10 Doesn't it hurt the fish though?

#9 Don't you need a special kind of pole to do that?

#8 I had a fly pole once but I could never catch anything with it.

#7 OH yeah! [insert flailing arm] You mean like that movie... What's it called? You know, with Brad Pitt?

#6 So... Do you like, fly your own ties 'n stuff?

#5 You mean you have to get in the water to fly fish?!

#4 I don't like fly fishing, I like to eat the fish I catch.

#3 I might like it, but I wouldn't want to touch the fish, get wet, have to tie my hook on, be dirty, fish in the rain, get attacked by a snake, get attacked by a bear, or be in a boat.

#2 [insert flailing arm] Don't you catch yourself with the little hook thingy?

And the number one response when telling someone you're a fly fisherman?

#1 I don't have the patience for fly fishing, I just like to fish with worms.

- Oh, I think fishing is boring, all that sitting around all day.

- You don't eat them? What's the point then?

- You should talk to my grandpa, he loves to fish.

Them: A 16lb pound King on the fly? I got one 60lbs.

Me: On the fly?

Them: No, we were using eggs.... I think....
