I was counting the hours Dave! I don’t think anyone actually tries to catch what I call Frankenfish but they are even less discriminating than Carp when it comes to taking bait and techniques! My brother caught the Shubunkin finned one up in the water after decent Rudd! The picture was taken quite some time ago 1999. There were three fish like this and they kept themselves separate and didn't associate with the crucians in the pond. I've edited the picture as best I could to try and give more detail. The scale count along the lateral line is 29 possibly 30 with a scale near the tail missing. It weighed 2lb 3oz.Tengisgol wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 7:18 amHi Phil, if this is a regular haunt try and get some really clear mat photos with fins extended. If we can then count scales on the lateral line and rays on the fins we could have a stab. It appears to have an interesting convex dorsal in that photo.Phil Arnott wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 3:34 pm I've seen brown goldfish in some long established ornamental lakes. As far as I'm aware a goldfish stock will eventually revert to brown specimens over time.
What's this one below though - Brown Goldfish or Gibel Carp?
