Site Editor "Bear Swamp," PA Posts: 1636	Fascinating, Stanislav. These seem to show the characteristics of the European stream trout (or Fario). Are the fish you pursue mostly wild or from stocking? Are any of these from lakes?

Site Editor "Bear Swamp," PA Posts: 1636	Very cool! I notice especially the red spots on the dorsal fin of the fish with the strange mouth. I've seen these spots on a few populations of wild browns here in PA and suspected that it might be more common in native European strains. Thank you very much. PS--Do scuds, freshwater shrimp, crayfish, or perhaps snails comprise a significant portion of the diet in the lake where that last fish was caught?

Site Editor "Bear Swamp," PA Posts: 1636	Oh c'mon, David! That was funny, and Hollywood (like lawyers) is fair game. And I had read that whirling disease could cause cranial deformities. Whatever the cause, it's kind of sad, really--it is a truly striking and beautiful fish otherwise.
