Was always curious how a non aquatic weasel received the name "fisher"?
From: Frenchman

Name likely comes from the old French - fitchew
an archaic name for polecat
Many new animals were named with similar names to their European équivalents!
Would have evolved eventually to Fisher.
Thanks KJC - been writing for TPC since 1990 or so!

Hey Serge! How's it going? I agree, looks like a skinny Fisher, maybe a young one?

Looks like a wet fisher after all the rain in MN. Otters can look pretty skanky too but this one is too skinny.

A fisher that is likely dead by now since this thread is years old. Odd revival to post what consensus had already agreed upon.
