A Fish Bum

What is a true fish bum? Some people throw the term around fairly loosely, usually for anyone who fishes, but most of the time they aren't true fish bums. The few and the lucky ones that devote their livesnto the sport and industry arent just the ones fishing a few times a week but are the ones that live on the water and fly shops. They eat, sleep, and breath fishing. They find anyway possible to tie flies, using forceps as a vise and anything that's laying around as materials. They are on the water every chance they get. They fish any water not just their home water. Farm ponds to roaring rivers, anywhere that there is fishy water, a fish bum will fish it. Flies and rods are constantly in their cars. So if you're one of the few and lucky people that gets to do everything that makes you a true fish bum, enjoy it because not everyone gets to do it. Tight lines to all the fish bums.
