[#000000][size 3]Is there another species with similar coloration that is not in the cutthroat family? Or do cuts and bows mingle?? just curious thanks![/size][/#000000] [/size][/font][/size][/font] [signature] Re: [MarineSpear] Difference between a cutthroat trout and a trout with cutthroat marking? - kochanut - 07-07-2012 rainbows can and will develop a slash underneat their jaw.... they are rainbows but they have cutthroat markings [signature] Re: [kochanut] Difference between a cutthroat trout and a trout with cutthroat marking? - flygoddess - 07-07-2012 Happens all the time at Strawberry. Makes it very tough to tell the difference. As far as water in question, I would just figure they are all cutts. I have not seen or caught any bows to my knowledge.

Even better when it may keep me out of trouble!

Though I also have not worried about keeping any there so maybe I haven't worried enough to notice. Thanks for the info though. I'll keep my eye out now [signature] Re: [MarineSpear] Difference between a cutthroat trout and a trout with cutthroat marking? - TheScout - 07-07-2012 aka the cuttbow. [signature] Re: [MarineSpear] Difference between a cutthroat trout and a trout with cutthroat marking? - EvilTyeDyeTwin - 07-07-2012 Most times you will definately know which one it is...however at the berry it is better safe than sorry. This guy I caught out of the Strawberry Pinnicals was definatly a Rainbow but had slash marks under it's jaw. This was the only one I have caught so far that was a Rainbow with Cutty markings. I highly doubt this fish was a cuttbow. Places like Little Dell are easier to tell which species are which...cause there are no Rainbows there. At least I hope not!

It's just easier to have a rule like this that is less confusing than trying to teach people how to identify between the two. I would say that it saves a lot of people some explaining or tickets from guessing wrong on their catch.

Can make it quite confusing until you get to know what you are looking for. [signature]
