ausnuck Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Alright Tako, because I know you're broke and ergo bored, I'll play along. My guess is a chinook parr. It's only a guess though fish geek boy. When did you catch it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sundancefisher Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Caught on that fly looks like a cuttbow from the foothills but the fish is not facing the right was to see under the jaw. Maybe a cutt or a rainbow from up near jasper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawgstoppah Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Looks like a young athabasca rainbow. I'm gonna go with rainbow trout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Looks like a young athabasca rainbow. I'm gonna go with rainbow trout. Personally, I think it's cruel & unethical of Tako to do this!!! What kinda sick sumbitch cuts a "V" in the tail of a rainbow parr just to play a stupid guessing game on a fishing forum!!! Shame on you; you should never be allowed to fish again!

Tako Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Good one Bobbers A few got it and a few didn't. I think ausnuck cheated It is a yearling chinook. The spacing between the parr marks, lack of spotting on the adipose fin and somewhat hidden anal fin were the giveaways. This was a tough one even for me, as I second guessed my original guess of chinook (thinking they should have migrated out of the system already) and thought rainbow briefly. A quick email to a prof cleared that up Good guess on coho smolt weeds But there's no white edge on the anal fin. Greedy little beggars. I caught 5 of them on that same pattern!

BRH Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Okay ... this is my first post so who knows what's going to come out. That may be a finned critter but it's nothing I'd be posting on here. Time for you to go after something bigger than your middle finger. I've used flies bigger than that minnow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
