What did you do to annoy Rachel?
 


Hang a Barbless dryfly from a piece of line from the roof, then you can have the choice of keeping it as a kinetic display like some of those amusing mobiles, or you could then land it and take it outside.

Please don't bite the bat though, not all of them have rabies.

Post of the year for me 

In the interim Ben, you might try some Meatloaf. Well.... kind of:

Check that it's not hiding in the folds of your curtains, if you have any in your kitchen. That's where they tend to hide when they get into our house. Once they fold their wings they are surprisingly small and can creep into very small spaces. Your only chance to catch it  will be to corner it when it has landed. The mouse trap won't work because they only eat insects not cheese or peanut butter.

It should be hibernating at this time of the year so I can't understand why it's flying about in your kitchen, or anywhere else for that matter.

Happy hunting

If it's in Bens house, it's probably flying around in a vain effort to keep warm Irvine  

If it's still in the kitchen I don't hold out much hope of it surviving for long

Yes, that's a cracker Sandy! ........           

We already have a Spidermannie on the forum, does this mean that Ben will now be known as Batmannie?

Ben, Pease take the time to set up a video camera of you trying to swat (capture) the bat.

The mental picture of you chasing it round your kitchen with it enjoying the game is just something I have to see in the flesh.

The only time I have had any success catching bats was when seatrout fishing at night, usually on the backcast.  Do you have enough space for this in your kitchen with the practise rod?  From memory, a size 14 Silver Stoat would be perfect, worth a try

I am in high spirits, new tyres and can now plough through the sections of road that imprisioned me last week.

What a relief to get mobile again.

Happy hunting

Kev.

Ben instead of the net thing try a bath towel.  Caught a couple on Loch Park over the years (they're partial to a falling dry flee  ) and make a hell of a racket.  Noisy wee feckers  once hooked as well but always got round it with a bar towel and a pair o forcepts.

The wee fecker will be hidin in yer cutains or behind a wall unit.

Nice one of spawning seatrouts there Mike. 
I like that photo too. And excellent flees of Mikel Elexpuru in the Flymage magazine.

Dry fly fishing.
