Title: Bat Fishing ?
Post by: MickeyFinn on May 11, 2008, 09:47 AM

Headed out early this morning for some brownies on the fly and came across this.
Someone got snagged in a tree branch overhanging the stream and their hook was hanging down from it about 2 feet.
Sucks for this guy.

Oh, I did manage a couple nice fish. this being the biggest.

Wow, that's a wild photo.
That unfortunate bat though he had a tasty bug, but it bit back.  :o

Nice brown trout also. :)

You can catch them fly fishing at night as well, I dont see why you would want to but I know some people that have.

I remember that we used to have to watch for them while trout fishing below Union Falls in the afternoons.  Bats came out early there, and loved to chase Phoebes being cast into the pocket water.  No one ever caught a bat though, because in-house rule is, "you catch 'em, you clean 'em!"
