Product Description
Use this fun fictional TROUT toy replica as a gag or a decoration or in a report about legends.
Our Furry Trout Replica This fictional cryptozoological specimen of a fur-covered trout is made of hard plastic, is 3 3/8 inches long, and suggests a covering of light brown hair. According to Icelandic legend, certain trout evolved a fur coating to keep in body heat and protect them from frigid waters. This idea was picked up by a certain Arkansas taxidermist who "cleverly" added rabbit hair to a mounted fish. People have seen fish which appear to be covered with whitish hair, but this is the result of a cotton mold which infects the body of a fish and eventually causes its death. People who fish often love to tell stories. You can use our strange trout as a gag or in a display or as a keepsake for the fisherman in your family as a replica of "the one that got away!"
