1 You decide to go to some other fly shops to get supplies because you are afraid your local shop in town is beginning to think you are a groupie

2 You get excited when you see extra supplies of news papers in the recycling because you are always using them to dry out your boots after each outing and you want go out on multiple days in a row

3. You get excited because it is only 21 more days until the winter solstice and and the days will get longer after that , allowing you to fish longer and multiple spots on the same day

4 You discover a website that shows you how to make sculpin imitation flies with turkey feathers thinking there will be extra supplies after thanksgiving.

5 2 years ago you are clippping flies on your back cast on the rocks every 5 th cast
and 2 years later you are member of the wild steelhead coalition, subscribe to 3 different fly magizines, multiple newsletters, know every fly shop within 50 miles and belong to 2 different fly clubs wondering how you will make the meetings for others all over puget sound

6 Your car gets hit by a deer and when emptying out your trunk before getting into your rental car, you are only concerned about transfering yor stripping basket

7 Y ou get turned on by seeing seals in the water near points of land knowing that coho will be driven into shallow water within casting range.

8 you have at least 8 different places in you mind at all times for vacaction spots in Oregon, British Columbia Washington ,MontanaIidaho, that are all mapped out according to river type, nymph vs dry spring fed vs dam created

9 Yyou cant wait to do other types of fishing in lakes for bass, perch, crappie on a 3 weight and worrying about having ther right color PFD jacket that matches your personal style and float tube

10 worrying about weather to clean your fly line after a day on the water or emply the dish washer first when you get home

I love fly fishing
only 22000 more hours until retirement
