Winter Trout: The Leopard of our Streams



Winter 2012

My friend Babis Hondralis from Lamia gave me these shots of West Balkan Trout (Salmo fariodes) we fished back in March at Karpenisi. We were participating in an educational seminar at the local Environmental Education Center. Babis' photos are sharp and alive - and I seeing them reminds me what an active time it is for trout in the winter here: their spawning time.
