Bend down your barbs for easy
removal, you never know
when that fly you're winging
around is going to get you. There
are all sorts of ways to hook
yourself but one things for sure,
it's a lot easier to remove a hook
that doesn't have a barb; it's
also easier on the fish.
Always check the tides and know how they
effect the area you are fishing or you
might end up stuck sleeping it off like
these guys.
