It's funny that thread was put up a few days ago. Here's why.
Chuck Tye and I were up in Ellensburg this weekend doing recon work for 2 Fly and visiting the fly shops doing our PR work (and buying any hot flies we may need we didn't have). Unfortunately we had lot of work to do so only would have the afternoon/evening to fish. Of course while we were picking up food to eat at our campsite, we had to fill growlers and sample a few treats.

Did more work and PR and settled into camp at the KOA Ellensburg. Thought we'd try fishing a little, but was crowded with people staying at KOA throwing rocks and playing in the water. We had a feeling this may happen, so walked back to our site and started eating dinner. Low and behold, we had an encounter we weren't expecting.
As we sat there drinking off our growlers after finishing dinner, two very beautiful women in bikinis approached us. They were both smiling and beelining directly to us. Chuck and I looked at each other like we were hallucinating. Sure enough, they walk into our camp and say "So you boys are fisherman?". I thought I was in a bad porn movie, or being punked. LOL. We almost said in unison "Yes ma'am!". The older of the two, and as we found our later was the mother, puts out her finger and low and behold there's an olive wooly bugger buried to the bend of hook. She asked if we could remove it. Come to find out it was barbed. I've unfortunately had a lot of experience removing hooks. I use the same method and has always worked. Her other kids and grandkids came over to watch. I grabbed some heavy line and wrapped around bend of hook and held other line tight.

I held her hand and said "It'll be quick" and at that second I yanked line and said " That's what she said". Everyone laughed at that as I was holding the fly and she was in disbelief it was that fast and painless. I got a big hug and Chuck and I went onto teaching them about fly fishing. Even taught fly casting. Caught some fish on the evening bite and had some drinks.
Was a good day tater!
