Saber Toothed Chupaweinercabra! Here’s a recent photo circulating on the internet that shows this rumored creature stalking PAFF forum members afishinado and Frederick recently on Big Spring Creek. The Chupaweinercabra, whether it truly exists or not, is the stuff of folklore and many alleged sightings and, according to legend, sates his bloodthirsty appetite by eating fly fishermen. Skeptics and true believers abound. We asked legendary Bigfoot hunter, Dr. I. M. Ahnutkaise, for an opinion. He said, “Clearly, this is an unusual creature, perhaps a hybrid between a grizzly bear, a weasel, and a wolverine. I think it’s some sort of missing link.” Of course, Chupaweinercabra stories have many historical references, including Native American folklore. According to legend, Chief Long-eared-otter of the Delaware tribe supposedly warned William Penn about a mysterious beast that was often blamed for the disappearance of warriors who went off to spear trout in creeks. Early Scottish immigrants to Pennsylvania used to describe sightings of a creature said to be similar to one that inhabited lochs back in the old country except that it was smaller, furry, and lacked humps. They called it the Letortness Monster. Nevertheless, there are skeptics. A local wildlife biologist, who asked not to be named, observed, “There ain’t no such animal. This photo is obviously a fraud. If you look carefully, you can see a lease or some sort of restraint. Some idiot put this picture on the internet to stir things up. If such a creature existed, we would have captured one by now. It’s just another case of mistaken identity, maybe someone’s captive coyote – or perhaps a bobcat. Pennsylvania fly fishermen have nothing to fear.”
Whether you believe the stories and alleged sightings of the mysterious Chupaweinercabra, Pennsylvania fly fishermen will continue to be intrigued, and often frightened, by this legendary creature and many will continue to insist that they have seen the creature with their own eyes on our famous trout streams.
