Brown or Rainbow?

[MyKey]

Brang in a nice fish this morning on Cayuga. Hit a sliding cheater around 35 feet. I would say its a rainbow but the bottom jaw is hooked like a brown I wish the camera worked on my BB cause I would post a picture.The fish jumped like a bow and was very pink on its sides. Lost a big fish had two releases before this fish, not bad for a quick hour n half fishing.

NICE BOW! .......(note heavily spotted tail)

Nice bow! A lot of bows pulled from the creeks have that hook. I believe it shows more on the males. Correct me if i'm wrong.

[perch predator]

only real hooks on males

you sure its not an atlantic?

[cdgn troller]

doesn't have the x's that a landlock has.

[perch predator]

At that size an atlantic would have a v tail with fewer spots.

If I'm correct, Rainbows have rows of spots on their tails
