what was this story called?

It’s a short story called “Fishing Season” by Robert Sheckley 1968.

Fishing Season was about aliens from another dimension "fishing" people from a small town. It was part of a collection of his short stories in a book called "The People Trap and Other Pitfalls".

I still have a copy of the book around here somewhere…
I think you're right

Now let's see if I can find it somewhere
