A quick way to make of fool of yourself is to backcast a slack line in a headwind. That is how I got a no.12 Adams dry stuck in my forearm. The fly had a turned down barb which as we all know still functions like a barb. I could not get it out so drove home to get a wire cutter and remove it properly. On the way home I stopped for gas, the guy at the pumps said "sir you got a wasp on your arm". I calmly looked at him and said "no its just a fly","Ephemerella subvaria". Im glad he didn't swat it,he thought I was a smart *** and walked away..FB.
