I caught this fish yesterday on stream that I hadn't fished in a few decades. The stream is heavily dominated by brown trout, but also has some Colorado cutthroat, rainbows, and tiger trout that wash in from an upstream reservoir. My son actually caught a tiger in this same run.
I thought this was a brown trout and didn't look closely until looking at this picture and I noticed the orange on the jaw. It's pretty silver, but I know some brows can look like that. Otherwise it doesn't look like the cutthroat I have caught in the same area. It's more silver colored and has spots lower across body.
Could this be a cutbow? Thoughts?
