We caught this fish last Saturday. If you want the whole story send me a PM. Just curious what the community thinks it is. Thanks!
Maybe cut throat?
I am not an expert. I have some fish that I can’t tell for sure either.
My guess is a hybrid with mostly cutthroat markings. Slightly white tipped fins, and more spots on the head are usually hybrid traits.
I’m guessing a cut-bow.
Cutthroat!
cutbow
Looks like a hybrid between a bow and a Snake River Fine Spotted cutthroat.
From Wiki: “While fine-spotted x rainbow trout crosses are observed in the South Fork of the Snake River in Idaho, they are infrequently encountered and appear to be hatchery hybrids. Conversely, Yellowstone x rainbow crosses are common;”
i will say Cuttbow as well
Looks like a cut-bow to me.
If not a cut bow then a north slope cutthroat would be my guess,
I would say Cuttbow- lots of spots above the lateral line on the forward half of the fish. Looks like a spot of white on one of the pelvic fins (though I’ve been told the white tipped fins is really only reliable for the first cross-F1 hybrids). The rear spots towards the tail also seem shaped more like a rainbows spots. The slash also seems faint or its been dead awhile.
Another cuttbow taken out of the south fork I hope!
looks like a hybrid that has more cut in it than bow. looks like it has a touch of Black spot disease towards the belly.
