Brown Trout - Salmo Truta

"Piscator non solum piscatur" ("There is more to fishing than fish.)" ______________________________ Brown trout anglers catch few fishes and almost always let them go barbless hooks make more for wishes then creels full to dazzle children’s eyes. Brown trout anglers tell tales distilled of truth, of rises that didn’t take and fish as long as your arm that always get away. They reminisce over glimpses of otters, mink, beavers, muskrat and deer. pileated woodpeckers, wild turkey snapping turtles, frogs and snakes orchids, iris and skunk cabbage mosquitoes, blackflies and nettles. And if you define a river by its banks and not its water, then it remains the same waiting for next year. __________________________________
