I got sidetracked and almost hijacked my own post, so I started this to share some latin phrases and their translations. Indeed, trout don't speak Latin, so knowing some key phrases should help us in our persuit.
I have pulled all of these from websites online, so don't take any credit for any of them personally. Hopefully they are somewhat accurate, but I can't guarantee that either. Hope you enjoy some of them. They can often come in useful at parties (or FishIns)
