It's not private.

Winter Trout Program stocking in urban areas has started this week in Missouri.

Good eye!  Although it looks like the colors may be continuing to develop, based on the similar damaged scales ahead of the dorsal fin on the silvery one, I'd say that's probably the same fish.  Plus the same "brown" scale in the fish's wrist area.

 The other pair is very similar, but I'd say its a different fish based on yours having some scales on the lateral line above the anal fin that mine doesn't have, and a few other subtle differences.  I'd bet they were each members of the same spawn!  How cool is that?? 👍

Dave I would agree. After I posted them I did notice that they had different scale patterns. The coloration was so similar that I posted it anyways.  

That bigger one has to be the same fish especially that injury.

They really ARE very similar!  These 2 I caught yesterday are both very similar, too.  Again, likely from the same brood, I'd guess.

Would love to have caught either of these two. Very cool fish!

@FishnDaveyou've probably mentioned it, but I'm curious what fly or flies work best on those various carp?
