Drowning doesn't look like drowning

Postby darrin terry » August 9th, 2010, 10:56 am

I was on the Fiberglass Flyrodders board this morning and someone had posted this link…

I thought it a good idea to post it here. We all spend a lot of our free time on the water - often with our kids and friends. I think many people will surprised at what they read in the article.
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

What I got out of the article is that parents should pay very close attention to their kids when they are in the water!!! Good post, Darrin.
Set the hook!

Yup, that was the scariest * I have ever gone through. Performing CPR on my 20 month old son for around 4 minutes or so is not an experience I care to ever try again. Bottom line..... Never leave your kids around water.... Even when you are "right there".

I will never forget your story Sasha. Good article, it's definitely something good to know.
