Many years ago I was fishing the Cowichan river on Vancouver Island which  
had a good population of Brown Trout. I hooked a nice fish and when I got it 
on  the bank it coughed up a mouse which was still alive and eventually ran 
off so  it does happen out west as well.

Hi All 
There is lots of stories about of fish eating mice. It was always 
hearsay to me until yesterday. 
I went to a small lake near home. It was nice for a paddle. 
I was hardly there when a Small Mouth Bass grabbed my fly. 
It was a 30 cm ( about ) jobbie and put up a good fight. When I got 
it in to unbutton it and let it go, I noticed something in its mouth.  
Perhaps my fly had come apart was the first thought so it opened 
its mouth for me - with a little coaxing - and there was a mouse's tail.  
The back end of the mouth was in the fish's mouth and the front end down  
its throat! I didn't try to id the mouse as to species. 
So the tales of mice and fish were not anglers tall stories after all!  
I am a believer! Enjoy the summer 
Paul
