[reply] Are there really brownbows in MM - some of the browns really looked like rainbows with the brown like spotting.

Brownbows were stocked in Mill Meadow quite a few years ago, but aren't anymore--they were very unique fish and seemed to be a good genetic frankenstein fish; however, as they grew older, they developed cataracts in their eyes and became blind. These fish have since been removed from the DWR stocking list and are no longer used. I would bet that the fish you caught were browns; I doubt that any brownbows still exist.
