Fly fishing Urban Myth

[buzz]

It really happened. One on the point and as it was whizzing about refusing to surrender to 9'6'' of carbon fibre then.... a second on the top dropper( an anorexic loch ordie). Both returned to fight another day.
I thought it only happened to old folk who only talk about "when i was a lad...."

Bats:- what i believe is another fly fishing urban myth, at dusk cast a fly out and a bat zooms over the water and takes it.
Marc Almond:- Perhaps the most popular of urban myths? Marc Almond goes to hospital and the contents of his stomach are pumped only for the doctors to find 20 different types of mens s***m??
You did ask.

Mods , please feel free to delete if this offends.

On the river Finn in Donegal, many years ago, i had two salmon on the same cast.

It was September and one (a cock) about 4lb on the point fly and the other (hen fish) about three and a half on the dropper.

They must have been paired off.

Have the photo in the album, great fun. Both safely returned.

Shouldn't these be rural myths... unless your fishing on the Wandle.

A double - happened to me three times in the one day on Lough Cullin last year. Nine fish in total - all from the one spot.

As for a bat - I caught one on the back cast tmany years ago on the Teifi.

And last year a great crested grebe took a Bibio... it wa at least 50 yards away when I cast.

how about an eel, fair and square in the mouth when night fishing for sea trout or two trout on the same hook,1st fish takes only for the fly to pass out its gills to be taken by another trout. ;D yesireee

one of our club members had a trout on the point and a swallow took his dropper. Swallow returned after a ducking, trout was delicious I am told
