an expression
The expression "catch something on the fly" means to notice a situation, usually negative, as soon as it happens, just in time to prevent it from turning into something worse. It can refer to a verbal attack, such as a hint; In this case, saying "I caught his hints on the fly" would mean that the recipient of such attacks was able to understand them as soon as they were uttered and, perhaps, refute them instantly.
Let's look at another use of this expression. In May 2014 , in the Guangdong region of China , a one-year-old boy was playing at his second-story window while his mother was outside. Two neighbors noticed the situation and quickly approached the building, as they realized that the fall was imminent . To complicate the scene, it was a stormy day, which made the window structure in which the boy was putting his life at risk every second more slippery. Finally, he fell but one of the men managed to catch him or catch him on the fly , saving him just in time.
