mikechell 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2014 I have heard people talking about fish jumping up to take a lure hanging from a branch or something ... never had it happen to me, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wschmitt3 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2014 Never had a fish take a fly in the air but I have had a fish slam a fly that a bird picked off of the surface of the water then dropped. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
