    Default Too much familiarity

    The WAY too familiar cally-pidler ...

    Thursday afternoon, while fishing, I noticed a pretty little fuzzy tan, caterpillar, with a kewl red head, marching up my arm. I ooh'd about it and even showed Cary. General consensus ... pretty nifty, now go away. Brushed it off and continued fishing.

    Little bit later, son of a gun if there's not another one calmly climbing my leg! Been there, done that, brushed it off.

    A few more casts, and ... something on my neck! Acckkk! ANOTHER ONE! Went to brush it off ... and right down the front of my shirt he goes! Did you know that pretty, soft fuzzy cally-pidlers have very sharp pointy TOES??!! A "fact" I learned as he ran across my chest, with me jumping around, tearing my MayPac /net off, followed quickly by my sweatshirt ... and would have been followed by my shirt ... had the little bugger not finally dropped off with my frantic whacking!

    So much for my eloquent, glamorous, fly fisher persona!

    I have come to realize that I like caterpillars ... from a distance. I like mice, and will share my fishing rock with snakes, but please, don't ask me to share my shirt with calli-pidlers!

    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Did you think to get an immitation in the water? When the caterpillars are moving like that around here, a wooly worm in the approx. size and shape=hook-ups.
    They're just fish, right? Right?

    Betty, one catches more flies (and cally-pidlars) with honey than with vinegar and your cally-pidlars just proved that you were the Sweetest L'il Thang (tm) on the river that day. What more do you want? Spiders?

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    Thanks for the chuckle Betty!!
    When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
