#61Actually according to the DSM these behaviors are more consistent with an obsessive/compulsive disorder.

I'm up to 10 and counting, still need that big flat stream rod and maybe a 7' 3 for medium size brookie streams.

#63Oh yes, most definitely a dash of OCD thrown in for good measure.
My 7' 2/3 3-4 wt just came in the mail a week or so ago.
slippery slope for sure....

#64Well now, lets see, I need a new roof and I'm spending the money on a couple of Payne's. You can do a lot with a tarp if you know what I mean:).
The fence needs to be replaced around my place, and no, I'm finishing up on a Tatman 17' wooded drift boat so I can fish those bamboo rods, so no fence.

#65While OCD may be its own entity or a subset of an anxiety disorder, I consider my own problem with bamboo to be more of an affective or mood disorder. For instance, in the dark doldrums of a long winter, depression can be significantly, if only temporarily, lifted by the long pursued acquisition of just the right rod, whose purchase was made possible by a certain kind of manic flight. Unfortunately, despair sets in again when the realization dawns that the rod cannot be used for some time yet, and thus the cycle begins all over again.
