My friend Timmy and I did Shelburne Bay today. We went two for four with a 16" salmon and an 18" laker. We twice passed by a dead greenhead pecked apart by the gulls with its entrails hanging out. On the third pass, I decided to harvest the wing feathers for fly tying. I tossed it back for the gulls and about five minutes later I noticed the leadcore bending a bit more than usual. No action, just bending. So I pulled in my first mallard, on my own fly no less.

I think this my best fish story ever.

Sorry, no photos to prove it.

Well at least you can eat it......Unlike my partner Al pulling in a sandwich bag without the sandwich

One year ice fishing with tip ups there was five of us fishing about 100 yards from open water the ice was thick,where we were.I had a tip up keep going off ran the spool right out so, the next time it went of i was right there i yanked and from out in the open water i could see a merganser duck the hook got caught in its wing i pulled it all the way under the ice and up through the hole cubby smith couldt believe it ,the duck took off it seemed to be ok ,we still laugh about it tell this day true story

Good stuff for sure.
I once pulled up a fileted yellow perch...everything except the meat.
I got the wrong end of the deal that trip.
