Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

Anyone want a brand new Wulff Triange Taper fly line?

What's this line worth to you? The line retails for $70 bux. It's not for sale, I'm giving it away FREE.

The person who can make me laugh the hardest with 500+ words gets it. Try to stay on the topic of this site if you can. Pictures will get you extra points. This is for a 3, 4, or 5 weight line. Your choice. Must be 100% original.

If you really make me laugh, I'll throw in a dozen flies and a bottle of frogs fanny too.

It doesn't have to be written for a boy scout... Let's have it.

Me.
 
When I was in HS i took German as a foreign language. At foreign language night every student needed to either participate in a skit, sing songs or make an ethnnic dish that pertained to their chosen foreign language class. I baked and brought in a tray of swastika cookies...... true story..... they were flawless.....
 
But how did they taste? Were they flawless in flavor?

I had a similar experience in HS French Class. We were assigned to find and bring a piece of French literature or film, and read, or view a scene and then summarize with the class, in French. Of course, everyone in the class brought in some type of film, since that was the path of least resistance and most entertaining, plus wasted the most time in class (primary goal). In my classic, wait until the last minute style, I waited until 9:00 the night before to run to every local video store in the area (pre-Blockbuster) to find something, anything, that wasn't picked over by my classmates. Finally, I found something that looked French, and older, so I figured it had to be legit. So I get home, watch 10 minutes of it. It was a guy and a chick driving around in a car searching for place to buy clothes. Simple I thought. Stopped it, went to sleep. Next day, my turn comes up in class, and 2 minutes into this thing, bam, clothes start coming off, felating begins, in the classic porn formula. This was 70's hardcore French porn. Not pretty. Think 70s hairy, but in France. We're talking Don King in a leg-lock, Fidel Castro eating a London Broil. I got a big, fat F. But an A+ from my class mates (not the chicks though).

And this is fishing related, because 1 scene had the River Seine in the background, where atlantic salmon are making a return.
 
Maybe I shouldn't have been the first one to post to this contest.

Now everyone feels they cannot top mine.

I know... I know...

But someone has to try at least.

I was fishing the Salmon River for Steelhead with my uncle one day late spring. I had tied cranberry and purple Estaz files and we were having good sucess using them. We were fishing a little channel at the lower pool in the upper upper fly zone above the hatchery. For anyone who has fished it you know it is a bit of a walk. In those days, running line, 9 foot of mono, and split shot were used and given the present flow it required about two number five splits. My uncle had flipped the line across the channel and got hung up on some branches. He gave a few tugs, each a little harder than the first. Finally the line came free and like a stone out of a slingshot was coming directly at him. He held up his hand to block the lead that was heading his way, but did not stop the lead but managed to block the line. This in turn caused the lead to swing in a circle motion on the leader with the fly acting like a steel ball on a medevil mace. The mono leader swung around his hand once, twice, then stopped with a jerk. He had a look on his face like a gunfighter that has just been shot in an old western movie, stunned and frozen. He turned to look at me and there was my cranberry and purple estaz fly embedded in his lip. We rushed over to asess the situation. It was in passed the bend of the hook in soft tissue. We discussed pushing it through and cutting off the barb. My uncle a Vietman vet with two purple hearts, was turning a shade of ashy green as we discussed the streamside operation. He wanted professional help. We quickly walked out and I drove to Malinda's to ask where was the nearest clinic. When we walked in with my uncle, the place went silent. She knew why we were there and said that we should go to Watertown to the hospital. As we started to walk out, she looked at me and asked, "did he put up much of a fight". I replied no, fought more like a lake trout.
 
At an after hours meeting at the Macanudo Club in NYC during my Wall St. days the subject of the holocaust came up between the 8 or 10 of us that were enjoying a cocktail or two and a stogie, I offered that I recently found out that I had a family member perish in Auschwitz. Everyone looked at me with amazement and sorrow, I then told them that I believe he died from injuries sustained from falling out of the guard tower. It got a good laugh at the time, but the next day I was in my directors offfice answering questions and I couldn't help but laugh everytime the comment was reiterated, so the following week I had to attend sensitivity training........ true story
 
Pushing the barb through is over-rated. Like jumping off the roof of your house with a patio umbrella for some home-made paragliding, its one of those things that sounds better in theory than in practice.

As told to me by the doctor in the Watertown hospital, using standard hook removal techniques in soft tissue like the lip can do a lot of damage. Pushing it through and cutting off the point then back it out would have worked but my uncle would not have nay of it. By the way you would be surprised how well those little barbs on a tiemco hold.

I figured of all the people you would be the one counting. Maybe i don't want a whole Wulf line. Maybe Im just shooting for the frogs fanny and flies. Or maybe I am trying to reduce my carbon footprint and save on server space? Ever think of that?:confused3
 
Im the hot looking one in the bikini:)
