Sorry mate not with a dorsal fin and a fat body like that,and the ventral fins on a stickle would be spikey.

Yes - like I thought its a Tommy Ruffe or Pope. The reason I asked is because fish are my passion and I haven't seen one of these for a while.

So, Kingfisher kills Pope? :biggrin:
Super shot, Dale. Can't fault it. :toast:

Cracking shot and great action. Indeed a ruffe - used to be loads of these around, but not caught one for years.
