Hi kid your post was impressive. [shocked] Good on ya.[
]
I have a problem that maybe you can help. I have a problem distinguishing cutthroats from rainbows and cutbows. Recognizing I live in Ut. and specifically fish mostly the Weber River below Echo, it might be different here???
........I've caught lots of trout that have suspicious colorations and, well, ----- I'm just not sure? We are required to return all cutthroats or fish with cutthroat markings immediately.
It doesn't seem I can rely on red slashes below the gills (what I catch don't) or the lack of a red strip down the middle. etc. Lots are just silver with black spots have red gills. I've tried the fin bit but what I'm catching has mild coloration or on the tan side on annul fins!!! .
Is there a better way, like the lack of spots on the head or the coloration of the annul fins or something else?? I've tried Google, the DWR, etc and just don't seem to get a good answer.
