The tiniest Trout in the smallest stream.

I was walking the dog recently round one of the local reservoirs and I hopped over one of the tiny feeder streams that run off the surrounding hills in to the water. This stream is literally only about a foot wide and about 8 inches deep. Out of the corner of my eye noticed a small dark shape dart for cover.

I waited and watched and waited a bit longer and was assuming that I would get to see the quarry of my childhood - the Bullhead. To my amazement, what emerged was a tiny Brown Trout a few inches long.  It is truly amazing and encouraging where given half the chance these fish live.
