Hello Folks! It's time to go underwater and explore the wonderful world of UK fish. Some are spotty, some have stripes. Some prefer lakes, others prefer streams. Prepare to get your feet wet and get your fins in a flap!Each Monday for 12 weeks I will be posting a little teaser for you. Without looking in books or on the internet (i.e - no cheating), see if you can identify the UK fish On Wednesday, so as long as no-one has guessed it, I will post one clue. On Friday I will post the answer along with some additional information for your interest.MYSTERY FISH QUIZ #3Clue: According to Mr Walton I am a leather-mouthed fish with teeth in my throat.

Big coincidence that this was a question in a quiz I took part in at the weekend. I won't spoil it though.

I wonder if Mr Walton is Isaak Walton who wrote the Compleat Angler. I think his book was about fly fishing so I'm going to guess Trout probably Brown Trout in those days.
