Someone’s pet koi fish found a new home recently. During all the rain in Valley Center over the past couple of weeks, this fish somehow ended up in the private pond at a residence in Fiddlers Creek. He’s been nicknamed “Fishsticks” for now. The pond’s owner sent us this picture, hoping our readers could help find the fish’s owner. If Fishsticks belongs to you, send us a message.
