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, 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.
