I caught a 'river mullet' Explanation: Hay 'lisas' que son de agua fresca, como el sharp-nosed river mullet, por lo que yo lo dejaría como 'river' mullet. Ver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullet_(fish) El genus parece ser Liza... no lo sabía... |

I caught a mullet Explanation: and I suggest so only because you say that you're going to write your piece for consumption in the USA. Here, mullets are well known, certainly much more than loaches. Sea (shore) fishing here is identified to a good extent with mullets. If you fish in rivers, you look more for trout or salmon. - Incidentally, I changed your pair to Spanish/English. Good luck. PS> If you could honestly make it a "golden mullet" (lisa dorada), it would obviously enhance the appeal. |
