...when someone calls my steelhead rods "poles". When I envision a pole, it's either a cane pole (which I own and use occasionally) or one of those day-glo green or orange rod/reel combos that they always sell for $9.99 beginning in April.

It's almost as bad as when I prepare a steelhead for dinner guests and they refer to it as a salmon!

How about when someone says they got a "bite" when lure fishing? Bugs me...

Or calls their minivan a "truck". I drive a '79 F-150 4x4, I know what a truck is, and a minivan ain't it.

Any other irksome misnomers out there?

Fish on..

P.S. Can you tell I'm bored with no local fishing?
