I'm constantly talking to "expert fisherman" that claim to have just caught brown trout in Winni.
I believe many still live in Winni but not in the numbers people are claiming.
The waters of Winni are clear and cold. I've been told that many fish typically found in warmer water lose much of their coloration in this environment. Everyone posting here has affirmed that my friend made a mistake in this case but in my experience MOST of the fisherman I've talked to have problems with fish ID. Its my understanding that many fish species evolve coloration according to their environment and many fisherman are making this kind of mistake. The whole point of my questioning is wether or not its fair to have such exorbitant penalties for catching the "wrong fish".
Now about my "perch", could it have been a tiger muskie?
