Just because it floats... doesn’t mean it’s food."
"Discernment saves lives!"
Official Dry Fly Avoidance Group Code
If he’s wearing neon, he’s not a mayfly.
Anyone in a hi-vis vest and Crocs is not part of the food chain.
If the tippet looks like anchor rope... swim away.
Real food doesn’t come with braided nylon attached.
Flies don’t slap the water like a toddler with a frying pan.
If you hear "plop" — that’s not dinner, that’s danger.
Sunglasses on the back of the neck = certified clown.
Don't trust anyone who can’t even shade their own eyes.
If the “bug” has a name like “Chubby Chernobyl,” avoid it.
Nothing delicious is named after a nuclear event.
If he checks his fly box more than he checks his surroundings — he’s lost.
And you’ll be next if you fall for his nonsense.
Never trust a cast that hits the trees first.
If half his flies are in the branches, the other half are coming for you.
Rod tip too high, ego even higher.
Let him cast his feelings, not your fate.
Wait for the guy in camo. Fear the guy in khakis.
Camouflage means commitment. Khakis mean weekend warrior.
If he says “That should’ve worked,” it means it didn’t.
Stay smart. Stay skeptical. Stay subsurface.
