From: flyfish...@gmail.com To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com To all: I was fishing the green drake hatch on the Yellowstone and caught a beautiful big cutthroat. As I was playing him a pelican landed and came swimming down the river. I decided to stop playing the fish and let the pelican pass as I had a bad feeling. The fish went calm and all was well until the pelican got close to the fish. The fish panicked and darted. I would never have imagined a pelican could move so fast. Now I had a pelican on my line. He took off. Now I panicked as all the line I had was rapidly leaving the reel. As it hit the backing I dropped the rod grabbed the line and held on hoping that the break would occur at the tippet and not some more critical place - and I did not want the pelican - at least not in the park. (I wonder how pelican feathers are to tie with?) The line did break at the tippet and I was able to get my line back. A couple across the river were laughing so hard tears were flowing. The only other thing weird I hooked was me. Actually, a brownie somehow got me back as I released him. It buried the hook past the barb in my hand. As luck would have it, this was one hook I had forgotten to flatten the barb. The hook was in my right hand and I am right handed. I sat there wondering do I try and push it through, go to the hospital or yank it out. I was just getting started and the fishing was really good so forget the hospital. Now push it through or yank. I was not comfortable with the possibilities of trying to push it through with my left hand and I had nothing to cut off the barb if I did. So I attached the forceps to the hook and holding them with the left hand I pulled my right hand away. It was quite bloody but the cold water helped and I was able to continue fishing all the while bleeding on my grip. I promised myself not to forget to pinch the barbs anymore.

Speaking of hooking one's self, I have never done that, to the best of my
recollection, at least throught he flesh- plenty of times in clothing, tho. I
have never hooked my boat guide, either. LOL
My brother-in-law was trying to fish one of my flies with a spinning rod and
hooked himself in the ear-lobe- bloody as all get-out. It was a black-gold dry
fly, golden pheas. crest for wings and tail, a gold floss body with black rib,
and gold and black hackles mixed. The emergency room doctor liked the fly so
much he said he'd take it out for free if he could have it- cleaned it up and
called it his Halloween fly.

I caught a 200 lb turkey on one of my special olive wooly buggers. It was on
Lake Taneycomo a couple of years ago. We had taken a break while the generators
came on & were fishing flooded grass while the water was dropping. Caught a
couple nice bows & one or two smaller browns. I was casting over my left
shoulder because of the wind & apparently dropped my back cast because I
embedded the bugger in my left elbow. Apparently my skin is pretty tough there
because I couldn’t work it out & couldn’t push it out to clip it off, in spite
of having bent down the barb. I retied w/ something else & continued fishing
the rest of the afternoon. I later had to have Mike’s wife assist me in pushing
the point through far enough to clip it. Still have the fly…

fly, and what's the story?
People who complain there's no neat threads about fly-fishing, here's
your chance. If you don't have a personal account, look up internet stories on
strange creature fly-fishing encounters and post those. It doesn't have to be
an intensional catch, even accidental counts.
I can think of at least a half-dozen weird things I've caught on
flies.
1. A bat. About 20 yrs ago, fishing at dusk, I hung a fly up in a
tree branch, with the fly dangling over the river. I was going to try to flick
the fly off the branch when a bat swooped down and hit the fly. He foul-hooked
in his shoulder- mayby at the last second sensing the leader. Little guy was
REALLY mad when I 'landed' him. Safe C&R, though.

People who complain there's no neat threads
about fly-fishing, here's your chance. If you don't have a personal account,
look up internet stories on strange creature fly-fishing encounters and
post those. It doesn't have to be an intensional catch, even accidental
counts.
I can think of at least a half-dozen weird
things I've caught on flies.
1. A bat. About 20 yrs ago, fishing
at dusk, I hung a fly up in a tree branch, with the fly dangling over the
river. I was going to try to flick the fly off the branch when a bat swooped
down and hit the fly. He foul-hooked in his shoulder- mayby at the last
second sensing the leader. Little guy was REALLY mad when I 'landed' him.
Safe C&R, though.

[VFB] Re: Was: QUOTE FOR THE DAY, Now - what other non-fish and other species do you fish for w/flyrod?
OK, we have so far: Cottonmouth Owl (bear don't count unless you hooked him) bat This would make for a neat article on Byard's website, if he'd ever upgrade it.

OK, I'll start the thread. Besides trout, I've fished for all kinds of panfish, largemouth, smallmouth, guadalupe, and spotted bass, salt water blues and speckled trout Yeah, and I've hooked a few tires, rods and reels, trotlines, etc. Caught one cottonmouth and gave my boat to him, while I walked on water to get to the bank. and lest I forget, there was that Owl I hooked on the Rayado, and the young black bear who stole my tippet, fly and my big brown. :-D JIMMY D Don Ordes wrote: "If all the trout in the world suddenly disappeared, I know a bunch of folks who'd go right on with their fly tying as though nothing happened. :-P " JimmyD Jimmy, this is a neat idea for a new thread. What non-fish (or very non-standard fish target) have you caught on a fly, and what's the story? People who complain there's no neat threads about fly-fishing, here's your chance. If you don't have a personal account, look up internet stories on strange creature fly-fishing encounters and post those. It doesn't have to be an intensional catch, even accidental counts. I can think of at least a half-dozen weird things I've caught on flies. 1. A bat. About 20 yrs ago, fishing at dusk, I hung a fly up in a tree branch, with the fly dangling over the river. I was going to try to flick the fly off the branch when a bat swooped down and hit the fly. He foul-hooked in his shoulder- mayby at the last second sensing the leader. Little guy was REALLY mad when I 'landed' him. Safe C&R, though. DonO - Original Message - From: Jimmy D.
