Maybe you've been there like me when some good fish is showing and it's make the shot now or never, but the particulars of the shot will almost certainly send the fly, maybe it's a kinda big saltwater pattern or articulated streamer, whizzing dangerously close to some portion of your body or a boat mate. Do you make the shot? Have you stuck a fly in you or others? How bad was it?
I've stuck a big treble hook in my thumb past the barb and that was pretty bad mostly because a thrashing 4# fish was still attached to the plug. But fly hooks don't seem as menacing as all that. I've pounded a few flies into my shirt or jacket and maybe pricked myself with a couple. What's your experience? How bad can it get?
