Better take the low road.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

"a pool where we park our caravan is full of the pesky things. here's a couple my lad caught last summer."

 

 

i'm ashamed you let your kid publicly hang the little fish! even ruffe deserve better!

 

on the other hand why were the ruffe i caught as a teen (without the public execution) a red/brown colour??

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

I guess it's fish evolution or something like that. I caught a ruffe in the Norfolk broads last year and it was, like you said, a reddish brown. Perhaps they adapt to their surroundings, the water is darker in that area of the broads because of all the peat, so the fish is darker too.

 

Certainly I have noticed the pike in Norfolk are browner and in wiltshire they are greener.

Used to catch them regularly in the Thames at Teddington. We used to call them "Pope", and even then (this is fifty years ago) they were persecuted and often killed on sight as they were reputed to eat other fish eggs. :angry: :angry: :angry:

I already made a cryptic comment to this effect in my previous post :)
