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,’' I heard. “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.

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.

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, Ages 16 and up $50.00 - 2 weeks $30.00 - 1 week August V7 oo oe cus RR gust August 25....:..
