Default Weirdest fish/creature/thing you have caught while fly fishing
What's the weirdest thing you've hooked while fly fishing? Myself would probably be a muskrat, bats and, crayfish, all the fish in Manitoba were pretty weird.

I've caught a duck, a dragonfly and the craziest of all was a bald eagle. (Which of course snapped my line)

Bat as well! It was dusk and I was casting a mayfly. What else apart from condoms and sticks...

I wasn't fly-fishing, but I was fishing the Bow and snagged this from an eddy while reeling my line in... It was dead already.

It was south of the BonnyBrook waste treatment plant, so I'm guessing someone flushed him down the toilet.
