Do you have a fear of flycasting?

You probably would if you had Suzanne as your guide. I ran across this link on another forum and really like Dave Barry's style. It's a repeat of an article he did a number of years ago, and good for a laugh.

"Should you cast your fly into a branch overhead or into a bush behind you, or miss a fish striking, or lose him,or slip into a hole up to your armpits-keep your temper; above all things don't swear, for he that swears will catch no fish."

Mike

But with ''fly-casting,'' you wade into the river and attempt to place a ''fly'' -- a furry little hook thingy weighing slightly less than a hydrogen atom -- on top of the water right where the trout are blooping. You do this by waving your fishing rod back and forth, using the following rhythm, as explained to us (I am not making this up) by Susanne: ''CO-ca CO-la, CO-ca CO-la.'' On your third CO-la, you point your arm forward, and the ''fly,'' in a perfect imitation of nature, lands on your head. Or sometimes it forms itself into a snarl that cannot be untangled without the aid of a chainsaw AND a flamethrower


That is funny
