Spinning a Yarn - Threads of Truth and Lies

I was traipsing through Midcurrent.com this morning and found the link to this article:

Humorous and of course sage advice for anglers. :lol:
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Dang, to think I passed up a golden opportunity, when on the Kern a few weeks ago, I merely slipped on the slimy rocks fell in and dunked my camera!

AND THAT IS WHAT I TOLD EVERYONE!

Thanks DT, it was very well written, and when it was over, I had forgotten what REALLY happened!

I was with you, you don't need to be modest. It's hard to stay afoot when battling a 32" trout like you were. :D


Craig, you forgot the decimal point! That was 3.2" :D
