It's sportfishing weekend, this weekend here in Nova Scotia, which means you can go try out a bit of fishing, no licence required, take the kids and teach them some skills and improve their patience

What kind of fish do they catch?

Greenhill

Most people want the trout (brown, rainbow, lake and brookies) but there are salmon too (which requires that you have a special licence, though, and you're only allowed to fly fish them).

Other than that I've caught lots of small mouth bass and perch. Eels and mudsuckers are common too but I wouldn't eat one.

Poor kids. Sounds nearly as bad as watching football

There's a lot of Brown Trout in False Creek over here. I'd not want to eat it though

There's also another fish here, that the locals refer to as a "troot". I have absolutely no idea what it actually is, though

Sounds like you encountered a Scottish clan, and they just mean trout

We sometimes we have little pile perch fishing competitions off the dock. Its a lot more fun when drinking although we don't eat them rather feed them to the seagulls.
