| Central New York Posts: 52 |  I caught this brown trout today during a caddis hatch, and took a look inside of its mouth to see if I could see any of the bugs it was taking. When I looked inside its mouth, I saw these hook-like things on its tongue. This was a wild fish - I dont know if that has anything to do with it. Maybe its something I just haven't noticed before? Does anyone else see any of these on a trouts tongue? | |

| Arlington, VA/ Mercersburg, PA Posts: 269 | caught the first of the season (15 inch stocked brown) on Wednesday and took the time to really look in the mouth: yep, 4 little teeth on the tongue. no wonder getting the hook out can be a scratchy business! dropped the first trout i ever caught on my own right on the bank because i was so startled to feel the teeth. they don't tell you about them in beginner classes and books. | |
