The Half-Life of Bikini Stories

One thing you learn after scanning the newspapers for articles on fly fishing for four years is that some stories never die. They usually involve sex, suggestive humor and fishing in beautiful places. So we weren’t surprised to see Larry Myre’s “The Girl, the Trout and the Bikini” appear again — for the third time — in the Souix City Journal yesterday. “A girl popped out of the driver’s side and she began untying the little craft. She was young, blonde and if I was describing a fly I’d have to say well-tied. I could tell because she was wearing a tiny bikini, a very tiny red bikini.” This is a story with legs.
