How not to spend Sunday with a flyrod.

Decide to practice Double haul. Conditions are right with all the wind for practicing. Practice for about an hour finally realizing I an uncoordinated old geezer. Head back into house. Of course I don''t break rod apart. Start to enter garage and feel tension on rod. This is the first time I've ever felt actual tension on the rod because, well because I suck at fly fishing. Wind up yanking Emmit Kelly figure off shelf. The little one thats easy to replace you say. Nay, I answer the big fucker that they don't make anymore !!Sweep up remains of Emmit and deposit him in the trash.
Now decide to clean fly line. Warm soappy water in tub- strip line into water . Come back a few minutes layer to find Golden retriever with wet paws and a knot in flyline that took two hours to undo.
Screw it I'm chuckin BAIT !!!

All this stress isn't good for someone with elevated triglycerides. Gimme your cigars and your fly tackle.

My wife has a really cool Emmit Kelly for sale ( "looking out to sea" ) 20% discount for your pain. Somedays it just pays to be a couch potato.

Hard times, Shamus. But all part of the reason that a fish caught on fly is worth a dozen snagged with bait. Just keep practicing...
