crazy loon @ Fiesta Lake

[thrude1]

we were out at Fiesta on sunday and had a great day caught about 20 small rainbows and 2 ,2-2.5lb and 2 ,1.5lb but theres a loon out there that attacks your fish as soon as its on the line. it couldnt take the bigger ones ( although it tried)but it took 5 small bows right off the line. We heard that it broke a lady's rod a few weeks ago. the pair of them are tagged on both legs and are not scared of people at all, can anything be done about them its not a very enjoyable day out fishing when you got to fight a fish and a bird

I know exactally the bas**rd bird you're talking about. Luckily when I caught mine he was hounding the other 3 guys on the lake! And I agree man!
I mean we need to let nature take it's course but this seems a little in the bird's favour!

Ive had nothing but problems with the loons there!!! Theyve got close to half the fish ive caught outta there, plus a couple flies. I agree that they need to disappear (wink wink).
