Salmon will have black x shaped spots on their body but not on their fins whereas rainbows will have small black spots on their body as well as on their tail, dorsal and adipose fins.

 

You'll want to know the difference because it may cost you a ticket on Cayuga Lake.

Rainbows - 15"

Salmon - 18"

Great pictures for comparison.  Well done Stinger!  Now if I could just catch those Rainbows a little more often.........

Shaped like a rainbow, head like a rainbow, but the tail looks a little to forked, and I'm not seeing any spots on the tail, even with a magnifying glass. Does have a lamprey scare though.

Had 3 lampreys on it when I pulled it in!
