I caught my largest wild brook trout on my favorite stream the day after Thanksgiving and I wish I was closer to my home wild trout streams but your pictures and outings help quite a bit. I have never seen a Fisher but we do have a real problem with Blue Herons making a dent in our wild trout populations in NW Jersey and NE Pennsylvania. Send a few Fishers our way!NJpatbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00025112886060368479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-1291668162684652742019-11-14T06:36:03.557-05:002019-11-14T06:36:03.557-05:00Bill Trussell

They've gone after piglets here a time or two; I found their tracks in the mud around the farrowing pen. They didn't succeed.

As for the poor heron that is not a great ending. Though there looked to be some very useful feathers there! I still have some grey heron herl I found that makes a very nice body for soft hackle spiders, every cloud as they say. Wish we had brookies over here!Grannomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162699051680912486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-5941796149440684652019-11-13T10:40:24.841-05:002019-11-13T10:40:24.841-05:00billp
