Obs. rare–1. A fish mentioned by Walton as a kind of salmon: see quots.
1653. Walton, Angler, vi. 141. There is more then one sort of them [salmon], as namely, a Tecon, and another called in some places a Samlet, or by some, a Skegger: but these … may be fish of another kind.
1760. Hawkins, Note. There is another small fish,… called the Gravel Last-Spring, found only in the rivers Wye and Severn…. Perhaps this is what Walton calls the Tecon.
1853. ‘Ephemera,’ Note, ibid. All the fish named, except the gravel-last-spring, are salmon-fry of different ages, from three or four months to twelve. Walton’s ‘tecon’ may be the parr.
