I wonder what a fly fisherman might use to catch one of these beasties?

I'd love to know what definition of 'nasty' they were using.

Loved the quote in the article

"And its mouth is not so big, so of course it normally eats nuts, fruit, and small fish, but human testicles are just a natural target. It's not normal to get your testicles bitten off, of course , but it can happen, especially now in Sweden."
