way off

A friend of mine broke the holy Sabbath day, Nov. 28th last and caught a Salmo mykiss, or a Salmo purpuratus, a cut-throat trout which weighed 10½ lbs., and I have begged a picture of it and hand it along to you herewith. Those who say these trout are at all “in it,” either as a game trout, or for the palate, with the Salvelinus fontinalis are “way off.”
