My Dad caught a bat once while fly fishing. He said the bat was smart and just landed on his chest, waiting patiently to be unhooked.

Subject: [Tweeters] Fly Fishing? Fly Birding?/Help With ID


My husband went fly fishing yesterday evening at the North Fork of the Skykomish Valley (San Juan campground). He was standing thigh high in the water waving his line back and forth over his head. A flycatcher of some sort went after the "fly"! Okay, has it ever happened that way? Has a fly fisherman ever caught a bird?

Oh and we spied a family of some sort of duck. It looked like a mother and two youngsters. The larger appeared to be smaller than a mallard with white spots and perhaps streaks on its face. The body was two shades of gray. I think it was a wood duck family.

Also spied three dipper birds and a tiny wren. Douglas Squirrels scoped out our campsite and decided to stay away because of our puppy's keen interest in them!
