to distinguish between them They belong to a genus of which there are eight 
varieties, and their characteristics are as follows :—Length from 4 to 12 inches. 
Very small adipose fin ; dorsal fin short, with a spine. Barbels eight. Dorsal and 
pectoral spines serrated. Eye situated behind the angle of the mouth, and even 
partly on the lower surface of the head. It may be taken with an orange or 
black trout fly on a No. 9 Limerick. It requires a big hook as it is rather good 
at getting off. It can be taken also with a small spoon, and as the fishing is 
generally at the surface, no sinker is required with a spinning bait. Spin in 
rough water against stream, and examine the gut after catching half a dozen, as 
their teeth are very sharp.
