Don't forget banning felt soled boots...what's a good fishing season without dunking over your head at least once a week?

Polarized glasses, too...and no fog lights on your truck for driving up to the Stilly in the morning.

Whoever invented creamer for coffee is another enemy of the traditional flyfisherman...it's just not the same as having to scramble into the bushes while dropping your drawers and your rod, getting all scratched up by the Devil's Club and blackberry bushes. Good ol' black tar coffee...now that's a flyfishing tradition.

Anyone who calls any "bug" flying around by its latin name ought to be banned from the river, too...this is no place for soft academic types. A "bug" is a "bug"...you don't need to know its name to match it.

Stomach pumps, magnifying glasses, and reference materials in the field should be grounds not only for being banned, but for a good beating first.

Fish on...
