Crazy Looking Trout
This was caught in Turkey. Don't know the common name of the species,
but it is a relative of the brown trout. |

If so the reference I find says the common name in the UK is Ala Balik and the US common is Flathead or Turkish trout. I read about those in Prousek's book "Fly-Fishing the 41st. Here's a couple references. The second shows a photo and the coloration looks pretty close although the specks are smaller and the tail looks a little more forked maybe it's just an immature one. Certainly the one the guys holding looks nice and mature! http://www.iucnredlist.org/search/details.php/19854/all http://www.fishbase.org/Photos/Pictu...9&what=species |
