Finnock

Previous to their descent, I caught in all, not far from the tideway, about half-a-dozen finnocks, on two or three different occasions.

Have you ever had a day's finnock-fishing? If you have not, and you happen to be a keen disciple of Izaak Walton, take my advice and seize the first opportunity of doing so.

Emigrating smolts were captured by fyke net in 1998 and early 1999. […] The returns to date suggest that the sea survival of stocked fish returning as finnock is consistently lower than that of wild smolts and that the survival of both groups to mature sea trout is almost non-existent at present.
