My pond was again partially open this evening, so I took out two trout for dinner. Both about 12-1/2 inches.

The first one I cleaned was full of eggs. Just kind of a neat surprise. As I would expect, its stomach was completely empty.

But, the stomach of the second trout was packed full of pine needles!

Ever since I was a little kid I've nearly always looked in the stomachs of fish that I clean. This is the first time I've ever found pine needles.
