Superstition

Well, I usually like to make sure I have my waders on right side out.  And I try to remember my rod (I actually forgot it once).  And I always wear the same hat.

Indsquiz- funny you mention forgetting the rod. I've done it too. LOL
One time following a Salmon trip I went fishing on my home waters only to discover I only had my Salmon rod and flies along. I held firm and fished anyhow.
This is how I discovered Wild Brown Trout will chase down and gobble up a #6 Orange Comet. I don't know if it's a pattern they don't ever see, or if the pattern is just very effective. I'm never without an Orange Comet now, although at home I fish 8's and 10's mostly.
Comets are the most effective Salmon fly for me. I have had Kings charge them from quite a distance. I use the chain bead eye version.

While I'm talking the SR I have a superstision up there too. I never go there on a Salmon fishing trip without exploding at least one rod. Oh never mind- that would be called stupidity. LOL

Good luck there. You aren't exactly Brad Pitt ya know. LMFAO!

You get the new rod yet MS? I want to hear someone is Catching Skams.. You said by Wed.....

I'll be there the same time Matty,you tickle them with the spey and I'll hook them with the one hander,I don't smoke but enjoy a cold beer after fighting the King all day,three and a half and counting,see you there!

Slayer- did you get out? 

As long as I stay in front of TB on the stream I do great!!

Steelydaze-
Funny you mention truckers mouth while getting knotted up. There have been times (all of us have had them) when it's impossible to leave the world behind when at stream side. These are the days when an errond cast, a small tangle, a missed fish, etc. set things off. I have now made it my personal custom to quit fishing if I'm unable to leave the rest of the world behind. I liken it to the movie "for the love of the game". When on the mound and ready to start he says "turn the mechanism off". All thoughts of anything else but the task at hand disappear.....

Hey Ed- I bet old Andy's head was spinning? LOL.
The last time I saw somthing like that was one day a few years ago when they shelled Maddux for 6 in 1 2/3. I'll never forget the look in his eyes as he decended the mound! I don't get to watch much ball anymore. I use to watch every Braves game and alot of the Mets. Not that I really liked the Mets, but could never pass up a chance to watch Piazza in action. None better in my eyes.
Trying to juggle kids, the wife, shift work and fishing...I haven't seen many games the last few years.
I can tell you if Bonds, Sosa, Gambini and all the other juicers would get shunned from the game and thier numbers erased I sure would be more excited about the game.
Pine tar, Cork, Super Balls, Vasoline are all to be expected. Drugs on the other hand ruin the integrity of the game for everyone.

Living up there that close to the Great Lakes who knows what juice you're getting.
Now Nestlee wants to bottle it. Salmon flavored water? Yuck!

Alright, I've read enough NYY bashing. Go ahead, gloat. We know how much pent up agression there is when you get only get to release it once every 86 years. Oh, nevermind, no we don't.

Cashman is being outplayed by Epstein. No argument there. My team should have re-tooled it's pitching staff years ago. And now the piper must be paid. Theo recognized it, and did it. And the next hole he will have to fill is the one left by Schilling who should realize he's over the hill and needs to hang it up. Just be sure to tell Ep to keep his paws off Bedard...he's ours. And Santana too...he would look beautiful in pin stripes.

All in good fun, fellas. It's your Pennant to loose this year...God it pains me to say that.

PS - The only superstition I have is to not be superstitious when I fish.
