This year has been fun to watch, and I've watched them plenty. 2 more W's to go.<br /><br />I just received my latest TU magazine and there is a fascinating article about a study of brook trout in a watershed on the border of New Hampshire and Maine. According to this study, the brookies travel a lot more than we would have imagined, one swam 75 miles from its small stream to a big river...and back! Many winter over in a big lake that downstream. I will scan and email the article to you if you don't get that magazine and would like to read it. <br /><br />Regards, SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08858232423819687001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-31539674373140599512018-10-25T18:16:23.924-04:002018-10-25T18:16:23.924-04:00Alan,

The natural char are actually several closely related species, at least three but possibly as many as ten(?) depending on which authority you believe in. <br />They are most common in Scotland and the Lake District but are also present in a few waters in Wales as well. I have never caught char, the wild mainly inhabit the depths of deep, cold lakes, lochs and llyns or are stocked into small lake / pond fisheries (which I do not frequent!) but I have seen them on a fish mongers slab in the in the Lake District (they are a local speciality there).<br />Thanks<br />AlistairAlistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389466523719234443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-42609828164797340022018-10-25T12:48:55.502-04:002018-10-25T12:48:55.502-04:00Wonderful post and gorgeous fish!

It really was a fantastic watch.<br />Brooke’s have been stocked in many waters here in the uk with various degrees of success - in some waters they just disappear whilst in others they are all caught and fished out quite quickly. There a few hill lakes (Llyns) in Wales where they were stocked in the 60’s & 70’s and have become naturalised.<br />Thanks <br />Alistair Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389466523719234443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-44767809491825391742018-10-24T18:58:16.329-04:002018-10-24T18:58:16.329-04:00I am glad to see you are having a fine fall fishin...I am glad to see you are having a fine fall fishing season, Alan.
