"Is fearr oreac sa phota na oradan sa ohfarraige"
as far as I know it means,
"A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea"
It is an old Irish proverb.
I have no idea where it came from. I was clearing up a load of stuff, as wives make you do at this time of year, and came across a piece of paper with it written on :)
Quote from: Allan Liddle'Dinne chap yon bonnie troot oan the heid'
Translates to ' Return that beautiful trout carefully and ensure quality sport for generations to come' :D :D
Allan.
(Unless of course the water need 'thinning' out a bit. Oh oh flashback of a recent pike poor moment for me :oops: )
Unless of course it is for lunch/dinner because you didn't bring enough to eat for five days in the middle of nowhere (been there) :)
