What kind of trout is this???
#1
I went ice fishing on Deer Creek on Saturday and caught a nice, 20" trout.  At first, I thought it was a brown. It had the spots, but it wasn't yellowish or brownish enough (and the spots were missing any red). Also, it was much lighter than the rainbow I got at the same spot.  It looked a bit like a cut throat, but I don't think there are cut throats in Deer creek, plus this fish was missing the characteristic red-orange markings. A fellow fisherman said that it might be a cross between a rainbow and a brown.  I looked up that possibility and learned that there are such things as "brownbows" but they are usually produced in hatcheries, not in the wild.  What do my BFT colleagues say?  Photos attached.
