2sheds Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Caught these last week at RRSP. The bottom one is definitely a rainbow. What about the other two ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Mutt rainbows drug around for awhile. Cut the gills and bleed them immediately and the eat better. tjm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjm Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 One kind of fish. On trout I just snap the throat latch, break the neck and finger rip the gills out; but if the trout (or any fish) aren't bled out promptly they build up chemicals (lactic acid?) from stress that cause bad flavors in the meat. The longer the "fight and the longer on a stringer or in a basket the worse the fish will taste. Actually true of all animals I guess, we used to stick the hogs with a long knife so they bled bled out and in killing chickens bleeding is important, hence decapitation. It helps fish taste taste better if you get them iced as soon as they are bled. nomolites, bfishn, BilletHead and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netboy Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I would say the one on top and the one on the bottom are both female rainbows. The one in the middle is a male rainbow. Seth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motroutbum Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 That is just a genetic variation between Rainbow trout. trythisonemv 1 There are two types of people. Those who dream dreams and wish, then there are the do'ers. I am a do'er! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trythisonemv Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 That one has some cutthroat in it. In the middle but still mostly rainbow. Lots of genetic variation anymore due to floods and hatcheries taking what they can get. Neosho puts out silvery slimmer fish where as Bennett and Shepard put out prettier fish. Just a hodge podge of genetics anymore BilletHead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
