It’s a slow day at work. Boards are slow too.

Ok
Brook (dark red fins, square tail),
Splake (pointed head, forked tail),
Brook (brookie head, large blue halos),
Splake (pointed head, golden, forked tail),
Brook (deep head, square tail),
Splake (forked tail, lake trout spot pattern on head). 
Monitor isn’t the best at work, but it looks to me like;
Splake, splake, brookie, splake, splake, splake.
Criteria; Blue halo around the red dots.

Those are some mighty colorful fish. I wish we had a better picture, but it looks like most of those fish don’t have squaretails. A forked tail with blue halos is throwing me, so I’ll guess just by the tails.
Brook for the first, followed by a bunch of fork tailed hybrids that have some amazing coloration.
Rainbow, brown, LMB, Walleye ,Crappie

Brook, splake, brook, splake, brook
I forgot one. Add another splake on the right end
Brook, splake, brook, splake, splake, splake. Halos on the third fish make me doubt that it’s a hybrid. Not as sure about the first one as I would like to be.
Keep the kiss.[crazy]
From left to right: brook, splake, brook, splake, splake, splake.
Brook, splake, brook, brook, splake, splake.
The troat and lower jaw of the one’s I am saying splake look more like the head on a Mac so I am guessing they are hybrids. Also the halos around the spots on the 3rd fish make me think that one is a brookie for sure.
Fun game, but do you know the real answer? [;)]
I’m bettin’ PBH would know. He’d be likely to know which hatchery planted the splake, and when they did.
Yes. I know the answer. So does someone else that’s already posted in this thread. One person has 100%.
But, let’s give a few others an opportunity to provide an answer.
My guess is Brook, splake, brook, brook, brook, Splake.
Brook, splake, splake, splake, splake, splake.
Criteria: lucky guess.
Brook, splake, brook, splake, splake, splake.
I guessing based on the halos on fish 1 and 3. I don’t know how else you tell a brook from a splake.
