That hurts just looking at your finger Bob. But, glad you caught some.

Ouch, Bob! That's a nasty one. Nice res on the photo, though. That'll teach you to fish barbless more, eh? Sick sunset pics, looks like you had a great day.

Have I mentioned yet (like 100 times) that all these reports are making me yearn for California and wish I had never moved? Dang dang dang!


Countdown to Colorado: 11 days.

Glad you guys got out. I can just picture Mark standing apart from you, "I'm not gonna look. I'm not gonna look..."

Water definitely looks high and fast. Glad you guys got out.

Ouch!!!! Try dunking your finger in the water for a while before pulling it out (or pushing it through!!) next time... it'll get numb in no time and then less pain Impressive you had enough presence of mind to snap a pic... always forget until I get the dang hook out!

[beachbum]

Bet you take your time freeing your fly next time. That makes me wince every time I look!!!!

[Trootfisher]

Yup, first catch of the Year.........ME!
As my wife would say.......STOOOOOPIT!

wow, nice macro shot, what camera are you using?

[midger]

Bob,
I can't believe your new avatar. What--you want to be reminded?

[mtnguru]

If there was any fly to hook yourself with Bob, that was a * one! Way to keep your head in the game afterward.

Bob,

You got it Mike! This is NOT my first time!

I am thinking about having a "Crimping Party" I invite some unsuspecting people over, serve some munchies, a little beer...... and then I hand out pliers and I bust out my thousands flies and instruct everyone on how to crimp the barbs, problem solved.......

[midger]

Just start tying them on barbless hooks. I tie most of my dry flies that way already.

[Rockstar Fisherman]

See why DFG makes you pinch down the barbs??? We do live in California where everyone likes to file a lawsuit for things like this. You could be rich off that picture. File a lawsuit against CADFG for not making you pinch your barbs down on this creek. Then charter a bus for us all to go to Wyoming/Montana with the money you win!! !!!

I'm guilty of the samething at least once a year, but that is worse than I've ever stuck myself Bob.
