I grew up on the Truckee and every summer all summer long my brother and I would fish up and down the river catching rainbow and german brown trout. When I was about 8 two bald eagles setup on our little stretch of the river and it was amazing to see them fly and fish. Once my brother lost a stringer of fish that he walked a little to far away from, he said it was one of the Bald Eagles. I think he forgot to dummy cord the stinger tight enough. It is kind of cool to think that one of those eagles snatched 5 or 6 fish in one shot though. (pic is almost 30 years later me with my son fishing the same spot I used to)
