You made me 
on two counts. I haven't heard anybody using the term "German brown" much since I heard it from my grandfather back in the day. He also called cutthroats "natives." The man loved to catch brook trout on flies from beaver ponds. I guess he remembered when the various species were introduced. You took me back to that time.
I loved the allusion to Monte Python. [laugh] When a student comes up to me when I'm subbing, sometimes I ask, "What is your name?" "What is your quest?" Etc. Few ever get it.
I was just re-reading your post to see if I missed anything before I hit Post Reply. Sure enough, I hadn't realized that you were being
-in-cheek about the Germans preferring European nightcrawlers. You're a sly one, you are, you are. My quest right now is to catch some browns; I was all ready to run and see if I could get some Euros. Ya had me goin'. []

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
