This sighting was on the Flickr website. I thought it was worth posting
here. Apparently, there is a barred owl fishing in Ashton Pond in Blacklick
Park in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

Here are links to the photos. The photographer is Karl Hassel.
The first image is from last year. The second one was posted a couple of
days ago.

I have never heard of this behavior from a barred owl.
