maybe so, but keep in mind that to me a 3-4 lb trout is a big trout

Hahaha. 3-4lb trout is big trout for everybody. Most people think their catch is 3-4lb when it is actually half to one pound fish. their 24 inches fish is actually 14 inches.
In kamloops area, a trout reach 3lb will be usually at least 20 inches long. Bring a tape or scale if you like.
RalphH:
a close estimate is the length x (girth squared)/900 (or 800 in some formula)
so an 18 fish with a 10 inch girth would be (18* 100)/900 = 2lbs
there are many on line calculators you can use and i am sure an app can be found

yea I always have a yellow paper tape measure and a scale, I will know if its three pounds if it is similar to the pinks i was catching my first salmon season. I agree that so many people over exaggerate how big their catch is. I find it amusing the things people lie about ;D
