Whether or not Gierach first labeled us trout nuts "trout bums" is more than I know. But am pretty sure I were one long before the book hit the streets; whether or not the shoe still fits is at this late stage debatable. Anyway here's a little quiz to...ah-h test your mental stability, perhaps help you determine your chances of remaining socially acceptable...as if we really give a rat's, eh?
- Do you fish at least 200 days per?
- Do you spend more on gear than food?
- Have you divorced more than one wife, citing lack of irreconsilable priorities?
- Is your fly rod collection worth more than your truck?
- Do friends constantly ask, How can you afford all that spiffy gear when you hardly ever work?
- Do you obsess over flies might not be the exact color naturals; your flies sport only two tails instead of 3, blah, blah, blah?
- Have you ever borrowed from or robbed a bank and/or sponged money off a relative or close friend to buy whatever or...perish the thought...a plane ticket to Alaska or some other spiffy destination?
- Have you ever slept on the ground or in the backseat rather than waste time pitching a tent...you know one more cast.
- Forget skipping meals, you never miss happy/cocktail hour or that wake up cup a Joe...Right?
- Have you ever missed Christmas morning round the ol' tree with wife and kids and...no you would never even think a that...of course not...I rest my case.
If you answered yes to...well, lets just say if you answered yes and/or right to even one...sorry pal ain't much hope. On the other hand pat yourself on the back cause from where I sit a whole bunch of envious, addled souls out there just a pinein' for the courage...
