Tiercel 6,986 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) What a finnock? A Sea Trout Grilse. A fish that has gone to sea in the Spring of the same year it returns for the first time. They have different names all over the country. White fish, Herling, Sewin, Whitling, Peal plus a few others I cannot remember. TC Edited August 9, 2016 by Tiercel 3 Quote Link to post
