I'll start:
Always:
-Check you leader/tippet knot after each hookup...
-Bring bug juice with you on your summer outings...
-Always make sure you have all your fly boxes before you leave...
Never:
-Refer to a fly rod as a "pole" or any fishing rod for that matter... (Joe!)
-Use the word "luck" in a fishing report...
-Use the word "nibble" or "bite" when you are talking to me about fishing.
-Sit in the front of a canoe, it sucks...

Always:
- Be Prepared for a field repair on your gear (Mark)
- Cary a stream thermometer
- Have atleast one waterproof pocket
Never:
- Ask Mark if he owns a spin caster
- Get into a conversation with Uplander about Catch & Release laws
- Dip your flies in Power Bait
- Add 10 inches to a fish that you have a picture of

Always have ALL your gear in one or two bags, ready to go, nothing to be left behind.
Never go fishing with an expensive pipe.

Always:
* Remember that, at its core, fly fishing is a blood sport;
* Carry a compass;
* Take the time to admire each fish you catch, whether you release it or keep it for eating.
Never:
* Over think how much gear and “preparation” is required to simply go fishing;
* Try to force everyone else to adhere to your personal fishing ethics/philosophy;
* Publicly disclose the location of fishing spots.

Always:
* Bring a few cigars so you can have yourself a "sweet reward" after landing a nice fish.
* Have a few beers in the cooler. Always nice to sit in the afternoon before making a cast, enjoy a cold beer, and watch for rises. Even better to sit on the tailgate and crack one open with a buddy after a sucessful day on the water.
* Keep a dry t-shirt tucked away in your trunk. Some of those Housy holes are pretty deep.
Never:
* Have your "secret weapon" flies hanging from the fly patch on your vest. The first thing I look....I mean other flyfishermen look at is the fly patch. It's kind of like a team stealing signs in baseball-everyone does it but know one admits to it.
* Tell your fishing buddies what they're hitting on before making them sweat it for a little bit.
