"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 "

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.

in mind: were it not for this fortunate trait, how long would our stream
fishing last?" Art Flick "Streamside Guide" [1947] ****************
