Fly Fisherman sees a hairy bipedal creature while trout fishing
Account
The witness was fly-fishing at night along the river below Hauser Dam and walked back to his lamp on a boulder to retie a fly. He shone the lamp on movement about 10 feet away and watched a large hairy biped move rapidly up the steep rocky bank and disappear within seconds. Afterward he noticed two of his four pooled trout were missing and heard a boulder crash downstream, then left with the remaining fish.
