A Fishing Nag instructs the other guy how to fly fish in a nonstop tirade of repetitive commands. Here's an example:

Urban Fly Fishing includes any fishing spot near a highway, bridge, neighborhood, or downtown location where privacy and scenery are NOT the priority.  A perfect example is directly underneath interstate bridges where loud echoes and noises from trucks and cars are a bonus.

Punting means losing a fish under any circumstance. It's an especially bad "Punt" if you hook the fish, get a visual and see that it's a really big one, and then lose it.

An Audible is a scream of disappointment heard from a fisherman when a fish attacks but misses his streamer or dry fly.  This counts as a "Punt" if the fish makes contact. Keeping track of "Audibles" can be valuable on slow days.

A Fake Audible is a fake scream intended to fool nearby fishermen into thinking you just missed a fish.

CPM (Casts Per Minute) the number of casts made per minute while streamer fishing from a drift boat. There are times when a high CPM rate is productive - especially when trying to entice big fish lurking underneath the river banks edge.

Snag Removal Technique is a skill perfected by only the best fly fisherman.
One technique is to jiggle the fly-rod so it sends waves down the line causing the fly and leader to unwrap from a tree branch. Another is throwing a loop that removes the fly backwards from a rock or log in the water.
