So I'm out brook fishing Sunday with my dog Ray..It was a fine spring day and I had the windows down and the sunroof open..blasting some tunes..feeling fine..It started to get a little noisy in the Jeep with the air blowing in so I decided to just keep the sunroof open and close the windows..Up they go accompanied with a loud snap..Yup..I had forgotten that the tip of my newish fly rod was sticking out the drivers side rear window..You know when those power windows close there's a fair amount of squishing power involved..much more than a fly rod can stand..So my new fly rod will be delivered today..Lesson learned...I hope..........
