Strangest ‘catch’ recalled —

_-.The famous fishing writer,
Robert Traver, tells of accidental-
_ Ay hooking not onc, but three
‘dragon flies in one season when
the latter mistook his minuscule
dry flies for the real item.
Tbelieve him.
We fishermen spend so much
time flailing away over banks,
brooks, reaches of rivers, salt seas
and-surf, we inevitably end up
impaling all manner of things
with ougsmall, bent harpoons. _
~The most bizarre incident to
happen lo me -- though it could
not technically be called a
_ hookup -- occurred a half dozen
“years ago. —
Twas straining to punch out a

‘prodigious length of line over a

Copper River riffle into the near
darkness of an August evening
and felt a strange resistance to my
forward cast,

“Thunk??' T thought.

T saw something moving in the

water and tried to make it out in.

what was left of the light.

It was no use.

Turing the rod so the butt scc-

slipped it under the whatever il

the thing close to my face.

The thing was a bat.

He cocked his shrunken, fox-
like head, squinted accusingly
with his beady eyes, and hissed at
ine.

Coming unstuck, I grabbed my
rod as if it were the tai] of a scr-
pent and shook it off violently.

But was he off?

I looked upstream and down.
The bit of light filtering through
the cloud lit the surface of the
water giving ita dull, oily glow.

Bats patrolled the riffle below,

cutting crazy patterns in their pur-

suit of caddisflies.
Since 1 could not sce any dis-

" inrbance, I assumed the bat ]’d
- inadvertently wallopcd had flown
- off to join the hunt,

'>" J yeflected for a moment on the

~ odds of hitting a bat in midilight,

‘then looked around.

~The bushes and the surrounding

“mountains ‘were dark geometric

“shapes. It was time to get out of

“the -tiver, but because T’d been

blanked, I decided to make one

‘last cast.

I picked up the rod and line.
With no baits in the way of my
forward stroke this time, a quick
snap of the wrist sent the fly
shooting out into the void.

“Fishing blind,” J] thought.
‘*Blind as a bat.’”

I imagined the fine fibres of
feather and fur undulating in the
flow, but was jarred back to
reality by the ceric feeling of a
tiny clawed hand clasping onto
mine.

If before [ bad been merely
hysterical, now I was apoplectic,

Quickly recovering equilibrium,
I again shook the rod. This time
the bat fell to the water and began
floundering anew.

There was something amiss.

Summoning up some courage, I
again offered him the bult end of
my pole. He took it and 1 carried
him to the bank,

His wing was. broken. Clearly
there was nothing else to be done,
so I lifted a boulder and killed the
poor creature whose only mistake

had been to zig when he should

have zageed,
