That sure looks like a big brownie to me. And last I checked, the
Atlantic Ocean was pretty damn far from Tasmania!!

Atlantic Salmon are intensively farmed in Tasmania (some escape) and
brood stock are sometimes deliberately released for anglers. They
don't naturally reproduce in the wild AFAIK

Whoever put together the web site probably wasn't an angler and got
the photos mixed up.


Hm.....

So.....um......it is your opinion (as an African American flyfisher of
renown) that either way this is no native fish.....ainna?

who suspects that mr. frost, had he been able to visit idaho in these
latter days, would have better understood the limitations of even the
best of fences.
