[cool][#0000ff]Fish ID is often a problem, even with people who are supposed to know better. At the recent Sportsmans Show, one of the "hot new lure" displays included a couple of ice chests with trout on ice...supposedly caught on their wonder lures. The rainbows looked like they just came out of the hatchery, with nasty fins and all. But, they had a decent brown in one ice chest. It was the "silver phase" we often see in browns that live in lakes. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]When I commented to the two young studs that were "manning" the booth that it was a nice brown, they got all hostile. They argued that was a big rainbow that one of them had caught out of a small stream. I just rolled my eyes and walked on...without buying any of their fancy trinkets.[/#0000ff]
