Episode Details

We’ll explore where this ridiculous bit of American folklore comes from, the story behind the furry fish, and why anyone would need a trout with a built-in winter coat. Along the way, we'll throw in a few theories, questionable science, and the kind of nonsense that makes these old lumberjack tales so much fun.

Is the Fur-Bearing Trout an actual creature? Almost certainly not.
Could there be a perfectly reasonable explanation? Maybe.
Would a furry trout make an excellent pet? Absolutely not.

Grab a beer, cast a line, and join us for another quick dive into the weird side of folklore and the creatures that probably never existed.
