Smoke on the Water
One classic depiction of a fly fisherman is that of a man (or woman) dressed in tweeds, a foppish cap on this head and pipe hanging from the mouth.
Do you smoke anything while fishing? Pipe, cigar, cigarette, something stronger maybe?
Copenhagen chewers need not apply.

No tweeds or floppish hat but do smoke a pipe and have been know to set the hook while lighting the pipe. Pipe filled with Captain Black tobacco. Do not smoke the pipe while fishing to be in style. I smoke due to the addiction. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

I'm not a smoker myself, but I admit that every now and again I'll get a whiff of pipe or cigarette smoke on a cold morning and think "Man, that smells good."

Gee, I thought this was about the song, of the same title, by Deep Purple. Oh well, I guess you had to be there.

Pipe for 1/4 centuary. Dark Twist.

I thought this was a Deep Purple post as well. I like to smoke cigars while taking a break I am affraid I will burn my line if I smoke while fishing. I guess it is that walking and chewing gum thing.

I generally live up to my FAOL name of Eight Thumbs when fishing. Even without a pipe, I have enough things to drop in water already. No pipe for me. 8T http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

You had better learn to be a happy camper. You only get one try at this campground and it's a real short camping season.

Hey Allen I think I was there.
Tradition is to smoke a Cuban cigar every year while fishing the Ronde and one on the last day of the season on the Skagit.
Smoked cigarettes for 25 years. Quit cold turkey about 10 years ago.

I often fire up a cigar when fishing is slow. The trout seem to know when I'm preoccupied and they take advantage of it. One of my fishing buddies regularly smokes a pipe (Captain black white pouch). I prefer to save the cigars for around the campfire at night with perhaps a snort of port as well.
