Greetings,
State records for hybrid trout are handled as their own species - rainbow/cutthroat hyrbrids and tiger trout are the typical categories. You'll see them on the current record list for catch/release records and for certified weight records.
https://idfg.idaho.gov/fish/record
Catch and release records started in 2016, but IDFG also made a few additional changes at that time:
- Split out rod/reel non-game records from the bow fishing archery records (typically for carp)
- Split out rainbow trout from Gerard rainbows (since the Lake Pend Oreille fish might as well be in their own class).
The latest catch/release smallmouth record was just set from the Pend Oreille River with a 22" hog a few weeks ago. Also a nice fish!
