Way to go. I fish the marshes of SC for Reds and see a fair number of Sheep. Most are tailing and I've had a few actually move towards my fly in a manner that they may eat it to only turn their noses up at the last moment.
I "caught" one this year, I was pursuing a red in the grass that disappeared on me. I flipped my fly line off to my left so I'd have a water haul when the red reappeared. While looking for the red, my line started feeding out of my red. I thought the red had picked up the fly so I set the hook. After about 5 minutes of fighting a nice red, I see the stripes of a 6lb sheep. He had swum through my line and I foul hooked him in the pectoral fin. Given the weed guard I use, I was surprised that I foul hooked him.
If you don't mind, what did you fly look like.
Thanks,
John
