It might have been a seforellan brown trout - it's a non-native Norwegian species (and no, this ain't a Monty Python parody).

CT introduced them to some of their rivers for sportfishing, they can get pretty danged big from what I understand.

RI has been trying to re-establish a salmon run here but that pretty much went the way of the do-do bird starting with the Industrial Revolution.

Look at the Westerly town crest - there's 3 fish on it.

Anybody know what they are?

Bueller? Bueller?

Anybody?

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
