FYI there is more at Tippy Dam than big fish. Tippy Dam offers large colony of hibernating mammals for study.

I met a guy that caught a bat while fishing. He was fishing on Fence lake one evening, and had cast a light lure. The bat took it in mid air. It was a comedy of errors while his father tried to drown the reeled in bat by holding it underwater with the net.

Thanks sargent for reminding me of that bat international site. They've made several improvements since I saw it over a year ago. I've made my bat houses using two plans out of the Woodworking for Wildlife book. So far the houses have had a good bunch of wasps. I will relocate them next year.
