"Amen, Brother Wolfgang. When I went fishing with Stan last Thursday,
I spent
an otherwise useful 20-30 minutes just threading the bastids on the
tippet.
I had two enemies: the shrunken hook eye, brand new eye glasses, and a
fanatical devotion to the Pope (...three enemies.) "

Actually, I've had this creeping anxiety that my FF days might be
numbered because my close-up vision is becoming so difficult. I know
that I can get lenses for that, but I don't normally wear glasses, so
having some just to tie on a fly would be very inconvient. Or one of
those things that clips on to your visor....its not like I don't
already have enough crap hanging off me to snag a line on.

I'm getting another set of those for sure. I got a pair from a Penns raffle
a few years ago and they were great until I scratched 'em badly. They really
helped, and I need them now more than ever.

If you're snagging your line on things you are wearing, the eye specs are
the least of your worries. I just hope you're not using any of those Rotten
Bananas from Frank - you'd be out like a light!
