Provenance |
The male was caught by the donor below the Tooth of Time in Elora. The female was caught by the donor above the high bridge in the park in Elora. The donor said the river had been stocked ten years earlier but in the 1970s no one thought there was any brown trout left. They spawned at Swan Creek at Inverhaugh. |
