I'll start this one off where's the worst place you've managed to hook
yourself while casting or badly casting should I say! And no prokies
be honest.. Mine was in the throat with a Montana ouch

I have not done one of those yet, but life has more in store for me. I am glad that I have self sealing fingers, especially when I am using the real small hooks.

I gave myself a nice ear piercing last year

On the eyelid but didn't stick. Really windy day combined with inexperience and a really bad cast made the leader wrap itself around my head and SPLAT!!! Luckily I closed my eyes in time. Took my time after that.

i have to say that waist coats saved me from a few hooks in the back to

Right between the shoulders, thin T shirt and I was alone. GR8!

in my thumb - i was only throwing fly ont water but forgot to let go worst wasn't quite in this category - managed to wrap leader round my hounds neck ont back cast and hook caught in her throat. She let me take it out - and since kepps a keen eye for any wayward fly lines - smart girl!

Last week I was boating two anglers in the world cup competition on lough Mask when one of the anglers managed to firmly embed a size ten dabbler into my cheek,that was fun. Took a little bit of surgery with a pair of pliers on an island at lunch time to remove that one.
Hooking my self, well the point of my snout and a size ten bibio had a comming together many years ago and that was dam sore but you live and learn and hopefully become a better caster...
