Caught on a Fly

Want a laugh?


Well sometime, make a list of everything you have ever caught on a fly.








Mine goes something like this:

· Yellow Perch
· White perch
· Largemouth Bass
· Smallmouth Bass
· small Striped Bass
· Land Locked Salmon
· Atlantic Salmon
· Eastern Brook Trout
· Rainbow Trout
· Kamloops Rainbow Trout
· Kokanee Salmon
· Chinook (Spring) Salmon
· Brown Trout
· Chain Pickerel
· Pollack
· Mackerel
· American Shad
· Two tree Swallows
· a frog
· a duck (Mallard),
· a very p.o.’d Muskrat –not landed
· Clyde Hurley -not landed but equally p.o.’d
· my jacket – 30 feet away floating down stream with my car keys in the pocket.

I think that is all. I am sure my fishing cronies will add to the list any that I have forgotten and delete any that should not count once the full story comes out.



My luck with spinning gear, while a bit less extensive, does include a ’68 Pontiac hooked on the Liverpool town bridge. The fight was short but spectacular.

The Pontiac escaped. I hid under the bridge for almost an hour before running home. I do not know what the Pontiac’s owner made of a “Red Devel” lure and the hundred yards of monofilament trailing behind him.
