I'm not a very superstitious guy, but I do have a few:

- Every NFL season, I wear my jersey for every Broncos game from the pre-season until their season ends, and I don't wash it until their season ends.

- Bananas are not allowed on my boat.

- On the way to the Deschutes from Portland on Hwy 26 just past Rhododendron, there is a big rock on the south side of the road called "Silent Rock". As you pass by it, you must turn the music off and not speak. Not sure why, but I always observe this.
 
Don't know about superstitions other than banana's on the boat, but today I got $6.66 change on Friday the 13th after seeing my new cardiologist today.. I'm pretty much screwed! Nice knowing you guys!! LOL!

Okay, there are two driving out to MT..
  • Every time I cross the Clark Fork, I say "Clark Fork!"
  • When I see a deer crossing sign, I say "Oh Deer!"
Sad, but true!
 
Before I had double hernia surgery many years ago, Doc gave me 2 surgical dates, Tuesday or Friday of the following week. Then he said, "Oops, that's Friday the 13th." To which I replied, " I'll take it! I bet there won't be a line of waiting customers on that day." So, I reckon I'm not superstitious and never have been. I do follow my gut instincts however ...
 
If I'm going to go do something dangerous I never like to kill anything on the way to do it. Kayaked a to be nameless class V Creek one day.. Buddy was showing me his new AR and we shot it a bit in a safe manner. Then he goes and shoots a squirrel. A squirrel with a mate that was obviously distressed at the action. I was pissed off about it and told him he wasn't mature enough for a sling shot let alone a firearm like that.

We put on, I'm still totally unimpressed and even question my connection to this city fireman gym bro guy. About halfway through he swims nearly dies and loses his boat. My synopsis as he lay there panting and choking, "it was the squirrel man. You killed something without reason and expect this place to allow you passage. You fool." I then named the rapid squirrels revenge and it's stuck.

Now I get nervous if a bird commits suicide in the grill on the way to do anything risky.. It's a simple rule really, don't kill what you aren't going to eat or that doesn't make itself a danger or pest if high order.

Superstitions are for people with shitty luck and/or low skill levels.

I don’t allow any bananas on my boat or vehicle on the way to fishing. . Took a family with a young daughter fishing on a local stocked lake. Mom brought a banana for lunch and I warned her that was bad juju. Several people who walked by made the same comment. Good for a few laughs on the trip home.
 
I never post after midnight...
Bad things happen after midnight

Honestly, I have zero superstitions around fishing. I do, however have some things with sports. Mainly baseball. Rally caps work. Also, you don’t talk about it when a dude has a no-no going.
 
Never say the W word when fishing or even thinking about fishing.. don't even think about bananas despite what Evan and G-Smolt said!!
 
Never look a blind man in the eye, damn!
 
The only superstition I have is talking about them. They may come true if I talk about them, so I do not...

Only positive thoughts, much like easier to smile than frown.
