OT has to happen all the time. I guess

Again, speaking for myself, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the
identity or purpose of the caller, it's the fact that you had your cell
on and were answering it while FFing. *I don't think it "wrong" per se,

I agree. On the occasion in question, I was fishing at the bass pond
within walking distance of my front porch. So, some would say, not
*really* fly fishing. For the record, whilst in a trout stream I do
not carry a phone, I never wear a vest, and I almost always wade wet.
In my earlier post I was mostly trying to compare/contrast the evils
of taking a phone call while fishing to taking a phone call while
driving. Depending upon the intensity of the occasion, I've been known
to do both.

Not simultaneously, one hopes.

Taking a phone call while sitting in a kayak in three foot swells a mile or
so off shore in Lake Michigan is a pretty surreal experience.

And I was pretty sure that I have a photo of you......wearing a vest.....in
Hazel Creek. But I can't find it right now.
