Is it a typo or do you actually use a condom for fishing?

Sorry to confuse bud but as per Penelope's posted link, retailers call the spinner a flying "c" when it is actually named a flying condom!........or colloquially a 'condom'!

Looks like pink salmon eggs could be viable in Scottish waters

For those that don't do Facebook here's the narrative that accompanies the picture of a new pink salmon alevin quoted from the link:

 

"A Pacific pink salmon 'alevin' from one of the in-stream incubation boxes in the River Ness today. Note that the fish is already turning silver (they start their migration to the sea soon after emergence), its characteristic black tongue is also clearly visible.

On the 4th September 2017 pink salmon eggs from the River Ness were transferred into two fully enclosed in-stream incubation chambers provided by Marine Scotland Science. These are buried in the river gravel together with two temperature loggers (one above and another below the gravel).

The incubators allow us to monitor the survival of the eggs, together with the time and temperature at hatching and emergence (the point at which the fry swim up from the gravel). The information gained will be used to help inform a UK wide risk assessment for this non-native species."
