Mexico 4/17

Went 5/7 off catfish creek. 41* water was highest we found. Nothing huge. All legal fish. I initially thought the fish below was an Atlantic but I’m not 100% sure. What do you guys think? I know it’s a hot topic... tail perfectly square tells me it’s a brown.

Thanks! The rows of teeth gave it away too. What’s the smallest Atlantic folks have caught? I’d like to know!

The smallest Atlantic I have caught in LO is 18"...but I have caught thousands throughout the NE and Canada down to about 3".  As parr they look pretty similar to trout.  In terms of similarities to browns, if stocked, depends on the strain and diet.  Some take on very similar markings.  Most though don't really resemble browns if you have caught enough.

That’s great lol I grew up on the river and caught a bunch since they stock it. Used to hit them with the fly rod pretty hard, couldn’t keep em off. Thanks for sharing!
