I've caught plenty of rainbows that look like that -- i think they were hatchery raised. The par markings can stay until they are that size no problem. In fact, this weekend I was looking through some pictures from when I was 4 years old fishing with my dad at Sandwash Reservoir in Eastern Utah, and the fish I was holding up looked exactly like the ones in your pictures.
