Fly-fishing for bats is a fast growing sport in the mid-Atlantic region. Once the province of young boys dangling live bait on monofilament line from bridges and overpasses, fly fishermen have begun to realize the skill, dexterity and technique of Chiroptera fishing presents unique challenges for even the most experienced angler.
Whether casting a Pale Morning Dun for a trophy sized Hoary Bat (Lasiurus cinereus) or hooking a small but feisty Eastern Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus subflavus) on a #18 Light Sulfur, bat fishing offers a way keep those casting skills sharp even when the hatch is off.
Novice bat anglers will do well to employ a knowledgeable guide to share the secrets of this fast paced sport. Presenting a Hare’s Ear or Blue Dun on a weight-forward triangular line with a #5 leader, casting with an open loop at the 12 o’clock position and techniques for offering wet flies or nymphs for echo location are best learned from a Master Guide.

A reputable guide will demonstrate the one-handed set, enabling you to play that Northern Long-eared (Myotis septentrionalis, renown for their fight) while still grasping the bat anglers traditional Guinness.
A licensed Chiroptera guide will also instruct novice bat anglers in techniques for releasing their catch; most employ the D. Lee method, in which the thumb of the left hand is wedged into the bat’s mouth while the hook is removed.
It is recommended that all bat anglers be inoculated with the rabies vaccine and be checked annually for histoplasmosis. And cirrhosis.
