This fish is 10 years old now and was caught on a 'hotspot shrimp fly' from a little fished North Yorkshire stream. She is called 'Parkway'

Bell,nice fish,how many mounted specimens do you have in your place?Oh,one more question,why name the fish parkway?

Have just Parkway and the Brown trout on order fishwise.....and a few different owls and a couple of other bits and pieces. Came accross an otter not so long back, not a scratch on it, but the hoops you had to jump through made it not worthwhile Seemed an awful waste mate.

 

Out on the boat tuesday if weather is okay......might take a few pics.

I bought a snow leopard skin for $70 years ago,the pelage and markings were incredible,I left it when I came back here in the late 90's,always wished I had brought it back,and I got offered a shot philippine eagle,it was frozen the guy was asking $100,a good taxidermist would have had wet-dreams at the prospect of working on that.Should have jumped the hoops and had the otter mounted,enjoy the boat trip and be lucky.
