One of the many interesting things in Cornwall is the trout streams.
Any small piddle will have brown trout in it.
In Hinds `Days in Cornwall` he describes trout fishing in Lamorna. (A stream a non athletic person can jump over.) He erronously insists in using a fly...Lamorna valley is heavily wooded. Much tangles and hillarity ensue.
The two streams running though Perranporth are bigger and have trout up to a foot long.
But these trout have an unusual friend.
Watching the fish I saw a movement, just a movement as it was perfectly cammoflaged.
It was a half sized plaice...Not unknown from fresh water.
This fish had probably arrived as a fry stuck to a gulls foot.
Like as not it will end it in the sea in the winter floods...but will it survive the salt?
