Incident #1001418
York, Lewis and Clark Cty, Montana
Aug 1977
Account
Rick was fly fishing at night on the eastern bank of the Missouri River, about 3/4 of a mile below the Hauser Dam. Hearing movement above him he shined a flashlight up the bank and saw a 7 to 8-foot, dark-haired biped going rapidly up the bank. Then found two large trout he had caught were missing. Rick assumes the creature was foraging along the river bank and found an easy meal.
