Is This A Brown Trout?

[John W Kelly]

I didn't really notice it until I went back and looked at my pics, but is this an uncolorful silvery brown trout?

btw, the bottom rim of the net is 16" in diameter.

Yuck! I hate it when they clip fins, I wish they'd knock that crap off.

Who and Why do they?

[fishinwrench]

Who knows. They are "biologists"!

It's a lame way to mark the fish so that they can compile a report later that means absolutely nothing.

hmm, weird, but thanks for info. I wondered why/how it was missing it's fin.

So is this a brown?

So is this a brown?

Technically, No. It's a genetically (and physically) modified version of a trout.

Well then what is it supposed to be called?

triploid. The fish of the future for t-como. Long and lean.

MDC clips the adipose and pelvic fins, not the pectoral fins. This fish lost his dorsal fin another way.

Not sure you can tell a triploid brown from a regular brown by looking. I can ask...
