The Butterfly Blenny Effect

Season 1, Ep. 15

Trophy fish come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and if you know anything of our work you'll know that we adore the smaller, more obscure species that inhabit our shores. Today's topic is the diminutive little Butterfly Blenny which we have been lucky enough to stumble upon and on a recent July trip we went back to see if they're where we left them almost two years ago. We also get into a game of fish target Top Trumps which could've been a whole episode on its own.


Thanks for all your comments and may you soon catch a rarity.


Dan & Ad.
