Dumb and Dumber!

[NJFred]

OK... What are some of the dumbest things you've done while on the stream that you can laugh about now?

Here's one that happened last night coming off the stream. The light was getting really low, very close to full darkness, and saw one last fish rise. Had to pitch a couple of cast to him. Nothing. Well now it was time to hurry to make my way out before true darkness. There was a section of a path that cut into the stream for 20 ft and then back out again. I carry shuffled my feet across most of it to avoid rocks. With 6 feet to go, anxious to get back to the car, I decided to quicken my pace to a normal walk! Well before I knew it I landed face down, and I mean face down, in the water with rod in one hand and my raincoat in the other! I didn't break my fall at all. I just went SPLAT! I tripped over a rock and got a good soaker. The guy I was with and I sat on the bank laughing after I figured out I wasn't hurt and nothing was broken.

I've got tons more but this one was really dumb!
