I got hooked

Recommended Posts

I have just got back from a fishing trip in the lakes, it **** it down every day and i had dreadful sessions of fishing, to make matters worse, my friend who was on the fly, hooked me with a fly which was tied to a barbed hook, the hook went into my cheek about 2 cm under my eye and felt almost impossible to get out, although i managed it in the end, luckily the hook didn't cause to much damage with the barb on the way back out, it wasn't my friends fault, although he did feel bad, but i walked behind him while he was casting, happily oblivious to the danger and thought nothing of it as i'd never been in a predicament like this yet. I regretted that :D .

 

Has anyone lese had some fishing mishaps such as this one?

Yep- Received a 9.5' fly rod right across the chest as the guy I was approaching started his cast. He had onehellofa birdsnest after. To this day I will not offer to let anyone in on the fly that is catching. He sure taught me a lesson. :)

 

At least you still have your eye. You should have left it in. I see all sorts with metal hanging out of their faces.

A colapsed cast is what causes a lot of that type of accident so is a bad pick up off the surface, hence the poleriods and hat.

The easyist way to get a hook out is to push the hook through your skin so the barb is out in the open ,and then cut the hook so the barbed end is gone, then its a matter of sliding the hook back and out, but always get it looked at as infection could be dangerous from water bourne bacteria <_<
