Favorite Fly Shop Questions of 2011

Yes...I am still collecting them!


#5   "Do you guys sell any grasshopper emerger flies?"

#4  "Why do you guys sell a snowshoe rabbits foot...for good luck?"

#3   "I'm fixing my septic system. Do you guys rent waders?"

#2  "This yellow humpy fly...is it a caddis with its wings up ready to take off?"

#1  "Do you think he smells my kitty cat?" --said by very large, sweaty woman failing to fend off an English Setter in...let's say, a very aggressive point!

  5. The river brings a few questions, but none as funny as these. Great fun reading ~ Thank You!

    One that comes to mind is the person that had been watching me for some time, and finally asked. "What are you using to have such success." Explaining that size was a big factor today, and the size 24 top secret midge was the ticket. He soon walked away saying, "I never tie on flies that small" .. Guess he just likes to go fishing .., not catch fish in early March :-)

  7. Wait a minute, are you suggesting there's no such thing as a grasshopper emerger? I'm starting to think I wasn't really the only one to come home with out a snipe on my last snipe hunt.

    #5 Of course, It emerges when it flops on the water!

    #4 An unlucky fly fisherman is not a pretty site!

    #3 Why yes, made by Glad the number one septic waders in the business. How many pair would you like to rent?

    #2 That's why the rises are so splashy. Get's your heart pumpin'.
