15. You have a two weight thru a twelve weight, are looking for a zero
and a fourteen. And you use them all.
16. You're able to work a sinking line through sand, 'cause there ain't
no water.
17. When fishing in shorts and sandals, you think about your less
fortunate brethren with 5mm neoprene waders that cover their eyes.

You might be a Texas Flyfisher if:
1. You have only 4 flyboxes, one for redfish, one for panfish, and one
for bass, and a 'travel-box' for trout.
2. You bass-fly assortment is in one-half of the bass flybox, the
other side has worm-hooks, split shots, bobbers, and a plastic worm
assortment.
3. You need a vacation to travel north to find cool water and trout.
4. Your water holds the biggest fish in the world, until you catch them.
5. You can cast a Rattle-trap or Rapala pretty well with your 5wt.
6. You use 50# test leaders to haul them up out of the weeds and snags.
7. Each fish- a strike, a long release, or one caught, deserves a
nice shot, or two...
8. You buy your fly gear at the Bass Pro Shop or Wal-Mart, however
small the selection.
9. You always have 'chuk-'n-wind' gear for back-up
10. A 30mph wind drives you off the water
11. You can side-arm cast that huge wet deer-hair fly underneath a
dock or tree with ease.
12. Your duck and deer hunting camo outfit is also your fly-fishing
attire.
13. You can count the flyfishermen in your near area with one finger.
14. You have a good supply of 50# whitetail deer hair for tying (West
Texans)

You Might Be A Red Neck Fly Fisher If. . .
1. You wade in your "brogans" and do it "bare legged."
2. Your flies are made from corn silk. If you don't catch
anything, you can
at least smoke them.
3. You've mounted your Orvis Battenkill on a cane
pole.
4. You wear a Hawaiian "flower-de" shirt on the stream.
5. Your fishing cap has "Numb Butt Fly Co." embroidered on the front.
6. You have the imprint of a Skoal snuff can on the vest pocket of
your
"Over-alls".
7. You spit snuff juice on your fly as a fish attractant.
8. You spit snuff juice onto the water because it intoxicates the
"chubs".
9. Your beard below your mouth is yellowish from the snuff drool.
10. The more than ample covering of dirt on your fishing car / truck
protects the finish.
11 You have a supply of fresh worms just in case.
12. Your Over-all galluses serve as a lanyard for your fishing tools.
13. Your leader is made from 20 # Spider Wire
14. Your fishing hat has dried worms on it.
15. Your Over-alls can stand alone when you take
them off.
16. Your neck really is red!
