Underneath the gravels of many rivers right now brown trout eggs will be developing and hatch into alevins which have a yolk sack to live off until they grow strong enough to leave the gravels and find food for themselves.

The recent snow and cold doesn't bother dippers they quite happily search the shallow cold waters for aqautic inverts using air trapped inbetween the feathers to keep insulated and warm.

European perch will follow around eels and wait for them to distrub prey then quickly rush in to snatch the food away from the eel. This is a learned behaviour showing fish aren't quite as dumb as you might think.

Fantastic farm #pond #fishes. 3-spine stickleback (Right) & 9-spine stickleback (Left). Both can go to sea! The 3-spine prefers open water & the 9-spine loves dense plant-filled water. The male 9-spine (Lower Left) goes entirely black when breeding. Crackers! @fishtwitcher.bsky.social

The other day I asked about rare species people had caught but what about unusual hybrids or colour morphs? Ever had a albino perch or chub x roach hybrid? This is a crucian x goldfish hybrid with shubunkin colouration!

Did you know female brown trout will fake orgasms (more accurately fake releasing eggs) to undesirable males who will not fertilise there young and they can wait for a stronger and healthier male to father its offspring.
