When you're not fishing. Perhaps clothes, hats, a sticker on your car? Maybe even one of those Hook Hat clips...
I usually wear a st croix hat with my fishing license on it the majority of the time.
In every way hats shirts stickers fishing tackle scattered threw all my vehicle .spare rods in the back seat any body who looks has no doubt.
I have no need of showing it. I've got two or three decals of products that I use and believe in, and a couple of the tourney trails I fish on the toolbox of my truck. Oh, and the wrap. That generally gives it away. If the boat always being behind it hasn't.
I use a Power Worm as an air freshener on my trucks rear view mirror.

Manly Man of the Year award right here ^
Wear a Loomis hat.....even when I don't own a single Loomis rod...
I have one sticker. A Bass Resource sticker on the back of my motor. That's all I need. People see that, they know I'm cool!
I wear JJ's majic for cologne.
Most of my back window on my truck is a huge fish and hunting stuff around it. Its loud and proud.

I wouldn't mind doing something like that but break-ins are popular here

Crank on the keychain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunburned hands and raccoon facial tan lines.

I lived in a city that was big in crime and no one messed with my truck but you can always get one of them Hi-Tech alarms for you truck they are about $300 and do all kinds of stuff.
My tan arms and sunglass perma-tan! People ask all the time, "You golf?", "nope I fish!"

As you know MI only requires back plates....so my front plates is a Bass chasing a crankbait with the words "Bass fever". I stick out like a sore thumb....lol. I always have my neighbors asking me how the fishing is...
I don't hardly own a shirt that isn't fishing related, unless it's hunting related. Raccoon eyes year round, fishing hats, "So many fish, so little time" hitch cover.
I have a canoe, but live in an apartment, so my canoe stays in the bed of my truck from spring until october or so. That's about it.

I usually take It a step further and dye my moustache and eyebrows chartreuse, my knuckle hair blue, and my ear hair red.
I post pictures of fish on facebook.
I show pics of fish to everyone haha, also I wear and talk about it all the time with hats
I have a pic of my pb on the wall at work.
On the front of my truck
I don't........ People who know me know I fish. I don't need to show it off.
I wear crankbaits for man-earings.
...and the BPS catalogs I keep in the bathroom at work.
I have a vanity plate on my car that proclaims I am a fisherman.
Tallahassee Bass Anglers license plate on the front of the truck, Humminbird, Falcon Rods, and B.A.S.S. stickers in the rear window, caved in license plate in the rear from hitting it with the trailer while hooking up the boat.
I have a St. Croix sticker on my car window right now. I have a couple fishing shirts I wear once in awhile to. I don't feel a huge need to show it off. People who know me know I fish.
Ironic, yes, but true just the same. If you didn't know me it would be a rare occasion when you could tell I was an angler by my clothing or anything else. Of course, when I'm pulling my boat or I have a jon boat hanging out the back of my truck it is obvious but that's not showing off. That's a necessity to go fishing.
I make it a habit to wear my Cabellas cap to Bass pro and vice versa. I fish Abu Garcia, Shimano, and Quantum rods, but since GLoomis is giving away hats and shirts FREE I suppose I'll get me some of 'em. If they start giving away their fish poles for free I'll probably get me some of THEM too. Just sayin...

I had me one o' them Saint Croak rods, broke it on the third cast. Then I found out they don't have any warranty, and neither does Gloomey. So I buy other products these days.
I don't, and I won't, unless someone can convince me that stickers, decals, and other paraphernalia affixed to me or my truck will make me a better fisherman.

When a passerby will strike up a convo since he noticed a common ground it might lead you to a honey hole,where theyre hitting, or at the least a good story.

My experience is that there are very few anglers who will give the keys to their honey hole to a total stranger. But, it's just me. If someone wants to cover the dents and diggers on their boats or tow vehicles, that's great. It's just not my style. There is no right or wrong when it comes to displaying your interests. Well, most interests anyway.

I see your point, my area is much different. Such poor conditions to fish its more like you have to tell others. There are the idiots out there though I admit that, but hearing about locations help me out.
Only ones that need to worry whether I fish or not...are the fish!
I carry around a Bass that I caught 4 years ago everywhere I go. Theres not much left of it but some dried up skin and protruding skeleton, and it kind of smells, but its a good conversation starter!
ive got a sticker of a smallie in my back window and wear a fishoflauge hat just about everywhere i go. im normally tinkerin with, or talking about something pertaining to fishing at pretty much all times. i dont purposely flaunt the fact i'm a fisherman, but i just can help myself from showing something i'm so passionate about.
The green Ranger towed behind my Suburban kind of tells them...
Har, har, har !!
When at work I just complain to whoever that will listen that I ought to be fishing rather than stuck there with them.
I got a new Trokar sticker on my car
My G Loomis tattoo. Okay, not true. I suppose that the "free" TW sweatshirt from 2 BF's ago that I seem to wear all the time I'm not working gives me away.
Don't need to show off. But if one was to ask how people can identify me as a fisherman, I'd say it's the nervous tick I've developed from all the hours of waiting for that minute little "tap tap" on the other end of the line or, perhaps, the odd expression I now have from holding my mouth just so.
