Fly-Fishinisms

[afishinado]

From Mo's post that heavily weighted flies are jigs, here are a few Fly-Fishinisms I came up with:

"Indicators" = Bobbers

"Tippet Material" = Feeshing line

"Weighted Flies" = Jigs

"Technical Water" = Tough place to fish


Let's hear some others...lol

"Junk Flies"
-- patterns that I don't feel clean when using every trip to the water.

"Nice day to be out on the water."
-- I'm not catching many fish.

"The fish have lockjaw."
-- I have been using incorrect flies and presentations all day.

"The fish were rising steadily just downstream from here"
-- Please don't crowd me, I was here first.

Good one Pete. I learned more about nymphing from my bait fishin' days than from all the books and "new" techniques written about today.

Where should I fish? = I have no idea what I am doing and I did'nt take any time to learn but some hero will burp up up a bunch of info.
