I ALWAYS wear glasses when fly fishing and so do my kids. It's the first thing i tell clients, newbies and friends who dont wear theirs. When you take up this sport/religion/hobby,,,whatever it is for you,,, it is not a question of IF you will hook yourself with a fly,, rather,, WHEN end WHERE!!! Pray it isnt the eye,,, or your kids or a friends.
I have seen them in the neck, ear, head, lip, cheek and one fully through the thumb and none are much fun unless the barb is pinched,,, another fine reason for barbless flies.
Wear glasses and pinch barbs,,, this should be a no-brainer!!
