That beats my elbow. I’ve smacked the back of my head a couple of times, & hooked a shirt or vest, but your ear takes itJ

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.
