YOU KNOW YOU'RE A REAL FISHERMAN IF.....
1. You spend more on lures and bait than food.
2. ...you're fishing on Superbowl Sunday
3. ...you get a date by telling fishing stories.

(paraphrased from sea-trout.net)

There's probably more you can add to that bit of humor...be my guest.

This posting is to all that pursue the mighty steelhead. "HAPPY NEW YEAR" ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>

Your rod & reel are worth more than your car!

When rain is a good thing.
Your cologne is ode de bait.
And you brag about having a noodle rod!

You must check with your fishing partner before taking wife out to dinner on the weekend.

Your favorite cologne is "chum entrails" and you take freezing cold showers because it reminds you of a normal day of winter steelheading.

your idea of a wedding ring has corn or a maggot on the tip of it
a screaming reel is better than a screaming woman
your most prized possesions are kept in a tackle box not a jewelry box

When you post on the internet to complete strangers, and ask questions about the sensitivity of their rod.

When a friend tells you he "scored" and "got some" you ask "how long?, how many?, what did they weigh?"

You go to work with a 102 degree fever so you can use your "sick day" when the next rain comes.

1. You rearend someone with your truck on a bridge because you were looking to see what shape the river is in.
2. You actually have phone conversations of more than a couple of grunts when your fishin' buddies call with the report.
3. You know the grocery stores that do and don't carry borax.

You go by your local grocery store and get pissed off at the fact that there is wild steelhead for $2.99 a pound.

You guys are scaring me...I'm starting to believe 90 percent of these are true!
Somebody contact the State Health Officials, maybe we can deem this addiction a "DESEASE" and get some gov't assistance.

.... you start to name your plugs and would risk like and limb to save one of them (MR Spots and Johnny coho )
....you use your stream themometer to keep checkin your temp because you promised your wife if your temp goes above 103 that you'll come home

When the only pictures in your wallet are of the last big steelie you released, and your kids pictures are buried beneath it.

When you steal money from your kids piggy bank to buy a cup of coffee on the way to the river.

When you walk by the Playboys, for the most recent issue of STS.

When you get pis*ed off if the sun shines on your vacation, and you're stoked if it rains for 6 days straight.

You have a name for each and every one of your fishing rods.

When you plan the birth of your future children not to coincide with the heaviest runs of fish in your rivers ( I did this one)

When you sprout wood at the sound of raindrops on your roof in March

When the thought of your significant other tying spawn bags the night before a big trip gets you aroused.

when caressing your woman leaves scales and fish slime on your hands

when your rod quits performing you can throw it in the trash and buy a new one

when you go to a fabric or sewing store for star beads and colored puff balls for steelheading ( done this)

Your fishing partner says there is 10 inches in the Hoh and you know he is talking about the clarity of the water.
