    Default Here's Something "Not to Do"

    I was tying a bunch of glo bugs over the weekend, getting ready for Steelhead fishing. As I was pulling the material up to cut those nice round balls I like so much I let my little finger dangle downward and apparently got it in the way if my nice sharp Ice Scissors While the injury isn't serious, I only nicked the tip of the finger, it was an eye opener. Keep those fingers rolled in tight when making cuts of bulky material with sharp (or for that matter any) scissors. I've certainly learned my lesson.
