I remember when I was younger... ;) Before fly tying entered my life. I was golfing and at the last hole next to a pond there was a Canadian goose sitting on the fairway. He wasn't budging. Upon closer inspection he was completely tangled in fishing line. I had already bored myself of golfing so I took up the goose challenge. I got all cut up trying to untangle that goose. I haven't thought back to it until this thread posted. I'm sure that was regular fishing line someone just carelessy tossed away. I never knew if that goose was alright afterwards or not. I didn't see him fly away but he was in shock. I can imagine he was a little sore and tired also from fighting it so long. I'm always tripping over scads of the stuff people leave at the ponds we fish.
