You might be fly fishing with a zombie if....

In honor of Don Barone's excellent article reviewed in the post below we have decided to list a few helpful Halloween hints that just might help keep you safe from the undead this holiday season:

You might be fly fishing with a zombie if:

1. His favorite flies are the Voodoo Popper, and the Flesh Fly.
2. He can always manage to "dig up" a few fishing buddies at the last minute.
3. His favorite shore lunch must include pork brains.
4. Every time he catches more fish than you he does that dance from Thriller.
5. He keeps looking at your dog all funny like and licking his lips.
6. He once got a citation for fishing with natural bait just for wet wading (maggots, you know).

We need a few more so feel free to add to our list via the comment section. I need to clear my desk so best entry gets an item from the FlyfishMagazine.com schwag pile (shipped inside the USA only). Contest ends 10-31-07

"And what do you do?"

"I leave. When it tells me to leave I get out, because I don't know what's going to happen.

I know we say this a lot about Barone's articles but you need to read this one to believe it... (editor's note: I laughed until Snapple came out my nose.)
