Video: Bald Eagle Steals Fish Right off Angler’s Fly Line

To an angler fly fishing on a calm day, there has to be no greater surprise than a bald eagle showing up to ruin your catch. According to the video, this eagle managed to steal a Dolly Varden trout that happened to be on the line, along with the backing and fly. To be fair, the eagle had attempted several tries earlier and finally managed to make off with a meal.

Eagles also accept fishy tributes, if offered politely. Watch as this majestic bird waits patiently while a young angler brings a 3 three-pound cutthroat trout out from under the ice.
