A Gorge Run

[Bduck]

I am really sure that is a brown trout! Doesn't look like a cutthroat at all; ie. too many spots, no jaw slash, too silver. Nice catch!

I never clicked on his pic to enlarge it but after your statement I did and I'd have to agree, looks like a brown to me too, especially with the square tail. Besides cutts don't fight .

That thought ran thru my mind when I first saw that it was a brown. A brown has more spots than the cutts. This brute had a faint red throat slash which swayed me to think a cutt. I stand corrected after looking back at some of my pics that the spots on a cutt resemble a brown but only on the upper half of their body. The brown spots cover both sides.
