[Guest Sundancefisher]

anyone ever catch a bat?

 

Yup...very easy to do. October caddis on the Crow at dusk... Or any dry at dusk on Lake Sundance for the past month.

 

would not recommend it though without gloves to take them off.

[tonyr]

if you caught any one of those fish with a guide they are not your fish they are the guides, i love people that go to the salt and brag about all the fish they caught. when all they really did was listen get pointed in the right direction and cast. you should rewrite your list on diy only fish caught. in salt that means reading your own tide charts,reading your map picking location , picking your fly , seeing the fish your self , making the cast , catching the fish. these are the only pure fish caught .

...probably my most amusing fishing story ever. Fishing with a frenchman in the dark (with no light at all). He was a complete novice and exclaimed that he had "caught something but I don't know what it is"...in hindsight, he knew what it was just not the word for it in English. Suffice to say, it wouldn't (willingly) go back in the water...cue slapping the "fish" back into the water. OK...I'm realising that I am never going to be able to convey the confusion of pitch darkness, a thick French accent and the utter comedy of the moment via the medium of a forum report...so you'll just have to believe me that it was enough to keep me chuckling for MONTHS after!

 

Thanks for reminding me!
