Thanks for sharing the great photo! Both Bruce Herbold and I tentatively think that the fish may be a Sacramento splittail, a native minnow that occurs in north bay brackish marshes. We are not entirely certain because the photo angle/fish is a bit tilted which makes it difficult to clearly see the back and head of the fish. Hope this is helps and keep the photos coming!

Milwaukee Brewers closer John Axford, has burst on the scene as one of the most dominant closers in all of baseball. What is the secret to his success? Perhaps this, is the answer…Thanks to John’s diligence and love for Twitter, we may have stumbled on to something more amazing than we could have imagined. Below you will find a picture of Mr. Axford enjoying, what appears to be, a beavers tail. In fact, John admits it in the Tweet. Could beaver not only be his secret weapon, but the secret weapon of an entire country? What if all Canadians harness their power from the dam building rodents flat tail? Is this a national conspiracy?
BeaverTails is a company out of Ottawa, Canada. They specialize in BeaverTails. Basically, a BT is a flat donut full of butter and any other type of topping your heart can desire. I would imagine chocolate, caramel, nuts, maybe some fruit. Here’s the thing though, all I can do is speculate. Sadly, I am not Canadian and have only been to Vancouver…which seems an awful lot like Seattle. Therefore, I do not think it counts.porty bit of pastry this morning with your coffee, you might enjoy this column on Beavertail.
Go here for the rest of the article, and here to see if they want to sell at the Beaver Festival!
