WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS ON A FULL STOMACH!
I met a bespectacled gal with a notepad walking along the Trinity last weekend. She identified herself as being an undercover reporter with the Fly Fishing Tattler, and she had the scoop of the century.
While hiding in the bushes near the DC Bridge, she espied one Buzz Natzke, rod builder, NCFFB moderator and all around fisherman extraordinaire, chucking (oh, I shudder to say this).....
A BIG BLACK JIG!!
He was, of course, hooking into absolutely nothing, because everyone knows that fish won't grab jigs. (The fisherman who handed Buzz the abomination was seen holding his sides and laughing hysterically over the "good one" he pulled on Ol' Buzzy.)
After going strikeless, Natzke was overheard remarking, "I wonder if I can cast those big plastic pink worms with this rod?"
Nothing less than excommunication should be considered as punishment for this "representative" of our fly fishing community.
