U.K. Fly Shop: "You Might Die If You Fish In North America"

November 16, 2008 By: Marshall Cutchin

According to the English Fly Fishing Shop, there is a reasonable chance that a fly fishing trip to North America will be your last. Among the possible vectors of certain death: the sun, jellyfish, canyons, bacterium, sea urchins and hunters, not to mention the more typically lethal bears, mountain lions and elk. The authors did forget the notorious gray wolf, which prowls the more famous streams of Yellowstone National Park and has developed a taste for anglers who carelessly dress themselves to resemble small elk.
