This was one of the fish we caught and released on Strawberry today. Has the orange fins and shape of a cutthroat but those rings instead of spots -- and the rings up by the head ... is this some sort of hybrid?

My vote is tiger trout.

That is an interesting pattern.

It is a cutthroat. I've seen a number of them that look like that. Just a somewhat unique spotting pattern.

I have caught a lot of cutthroat and have never seen one like that. Pretty fish and definitely has markings similar to a tiger trout. I am intrigued to see what others have to say??

Definitely a cutthroat. Really cool pattern on that one, but all cutthroat.

I've seen this same question asked about similar looking fish from the Berry on FacebookFace more than once.

Cool catch!

Looks to me to be a Bonneville cutt.

Strawberry is planted with the Bear Lake strain of cutthroat.
