While on the subject of raptors with their catches, I am reminded of a flyfishing trip I took to Lake Chopaka in north central Washington State, just along the Canadian border. Chopaka is a wonderful flyfishing only lake far off the beaten path. I had been fishing for several hours, not having much luck when I noticed an Osprey circling the lake with a good sized rainbow trout clutched in his talons. What a showoff. But, as if to "rub it in", he then lands on a rock not 30 feet from me. I suppose he thought that would discourage me. But no. I got several good photos and eventually a few fish.
