Found no image for this species, but E. fulgida belongs to the same genus.

Welcome to the Hidden Almanac, I’m Reverend Mord. Today is October 16th, 2013.

It was on this day, in 1899, that Thaddeus Mackelwhite landed a seventy-two pound steelhead while fishing on a tributary of the Echo River. This record-breaking fish was later confirmed by the Echo Fisheries Association. Mr. Mackelwhite received a small certificate and a beer.
