Surgeon General's Warning:
Fly fishing is highly addictive and may result in the following side effects: excessive daydreaming about rivers, uncontrollable urges to discuss the subtleties of casting with anyone who'll listen, an alarming willingness to wake up at ungodly hours, and an inability to walk past a body of water without imagining the perfect fly.
Use caution! Fly fishing may lead to a permanent reduction in disposable income, an increase in stories about "the one that got away," and an irreversible state of bliss when in proximity to trout.
