Who doesn’t like to see some wildlife when they’re out fly fishing? Majestic elk, brilliant songbirds, and delicate butterflies add a little something to your angling.
But there is a whole host of other critters that are less than pleasant to encounter. Some are downright awful.
In this episode of the podcast, I recount a few harrowing tales of my own. I also offer up a few words of caution. And while I strongly advocate a “live and let live policy,” I also encourage some of these varmints to do their living somewhere else.

Years ago there was a family of Screech Owls that lived in a willow tree high above “the Meadow” at Bonnybrook. Dad told me of numerous encounters, always just around dusk, of the owls dive bombing him while working his way back to his car, which was parked near what used to be the office for the quarry. No clue if the building and/or the parking lot is still there but I can vaguely remember it.
I think I recall that story. I never had any owl run-ins there, but was harassed on occasion by a territorial goose!
