I really think it would be a hard strech to actually catch a pure cuttie. Rainbows have been in the system for so long that some where in their DNA you will most likely find find some type of Rainbow DNA in the the cutties DNA. A very interesting boook to read on this subject is "An Entirely synthetic fish". It is a great book that shines alot of insite on this subject.
Personally I think that what they are focusing on spawning behavior. Browns cannot spawn or hybridize with cutties there for they arent worried about them endangering the pure (so to say) genes. Most places where they have introduced Rainbows with cutties they have found rainbow DNA in the native looking cutties. Browns only eat the cutties not pollute the gene pool. My opinion
