Okay, after the Pirate pulled his stunt over the weekend (admit it, he
got you, you just read the rest of the thread before responding), I
would like to hear your best fly fishing practical jokes. Extra points
go if they were ROFF related.
One I would start out with, is a certain North Cakalakian tying his
favorite fly on your tippet. The joke comes in after the 6th or 7th
missed take when you realize he cut the hook off.

I can think of two. I was showing my first bamboo fly rod to two
friends. When I had my back to them, Mark said to Jay,"Now, Jay, the
cool thing about bamboo is - you see how it can bend WAAAYYYYY over like
this?" He then snapped a dry twig he was holding. I spun on my heel,
horrified, only to discover the ruse. It took a few minutes to bring my
blood pressure down!

Another was the time I used my buddy Tim's new digital camera to take
his picture with his fish. As he was unhooking and releasing it, I
dropped a similar sized rock in the water, then cursed - as if I had
fumbled the camera. He was hopping around for about 30 seconds over
that one.
