When fly fishing, glasses are a must. Even with them, anyone that has fished for any amount of time, has hung a fly in them somewhere.
I wore a large streamer in the end of my nose for most of a day while fishing in Montana. Another time, I was fishing a dam in Black Smith Fork, catching many large browns from the road. It took a big cast to get between the moss beds, and I was really hauling it. I hung a small fly (with barb) in my ear lobe. My rough language attracted the attention of a couple near me, and the guy came over to see what was wrong. He offered me a mirror and chair on the back of his tailgate to remove it, so I took him up on his offer. His wife poured me a cup of coffee, and I went at the fly.
I was pushing and pulling with a small pair of needle nose pliers, no pain involved, but I guess it was quite a show. When I got it out, I looked at the couple, and they were white as ghosts. It made them quite ill. I thanked them, and went back to fishing.
Turning their stomachs, made it quite memorable for me.
