Yea! Summer TRs in the winter. Good idea.

And I feel so with it to get this first look at the latest trends in
body-piercing too.....

(I skipped the removal vids, though, having enough first-hand experience
to last me for a while.....)


Anyone who has had a barbed hook embedded in their flesh ought to take a
look at the second video. It was amazing how easily and painlessly Scott
removed that fly from my face. The first video was just to show the more
macho way to do it. :-)

Some of us who've had a barbed hook embedded in our flesh (Triple gang
hook in hand) will never fish with or near a barbed hook again. I
tend to spend some time each fishing / camping trip checking my barbs
and squishing down any barbs on new hooks. Makes them very easy to
remove.

Yes, but I'd suggest not counterpulling on the tippet, but instead
pressing the hookeye down against your cheek instead. Think about it:
if you use the tippet to hold the fly, it sets the hook.

The way I learned was to press the hook down against the cheek,
basically taking the pressure off of the barb. Then pull back with the
loop of thread, and the hook backs out of its own hole.
