Paul, any chance that your fish was a steelhead ? There have been =
significant escapes from farms and catches in the LaHave have been =
reported last year. Too bad, because they compete for food and breeding =
territory with naturally occurring species.

        Hi Jeff
        It was the Lahave. Large river like the Lahave had runs nearly =
year round but not so much is known of them nowadays due to the lack of =
fishing opportunities.
        Rumor has it that several rivers such as the Gold and Middle =
have had a good number of Kelts this year.
        Have a nice spring
        Paul

          What river was this?? I understand that some rivers have =
different seasonal runs than others...


          Cheers!

            I never thought of that possibility.
            It is the interesting thing about fish. We never know they =
exist until they come into contact with us. A few moments and they are =
gone again - who knows where?
            Have a nice spring
