Fisher

Ned sent me this picture of what looks like an extremely large fisher that was trapped locally.

                                              



      190 Fishers were reintroduced into Pa. from 1994 to 1998 by the PGC. They are a member of the weasel family  and average 4 to 12 lbs. with an occasional one reaching 16 lbs. Fishers eat small mammals and reptiles but supposedly not fish.
