Today I discovered one more GOOD reason to leave the barbs at home...
There I wuzz...Lewis Bay Yak Attack with Brother Nick...lots of fish around and sight casting is on the menu...and working!
Cast to a passing BIG fish at 12 o'clock high/50'...nice cast (even though I do say so myself) but smaller opportunist fish steals the fly...BIG fish is annoyed and curious and stays with smaller rude thief...I see BIG fish swimming in formation and give some slack...Barbless fly finally comes loose and is promptly devoured by BIG fish...Drag noises now eminating from my reel...
LIFE IS GOOD!
Sincerely,
Crush D'Barb
