Decided to head out today before the reported heavy rain comes.
Got down to Bergman around 9:30am and fished for about 90minutes. Only saw a couple guys fishing the run and nobody got anything to show.
I decided to head down below the canal. Fished for 2 hours there and managed to hooked into a wild fish.
I took some pictures to show what the river looks like for today. It was starting to rain quite heavy when I left at around 2:30pm.
Hopefully the cooler condition will hold the river at its current condition- just perfect!!!

Nicely done CohoMan.. is it just me or is that an odd lookig fish? :)

I thought so too so I quickly snapped a quick photo and let it go.

Looks like a cutthroat, hard to tell though with nothing in the pic to set a reference to the size..

I agree, that maxillary is well past the eye but it looks rainbowish to me ... would sure like to see more pics and yeah, size.

looks like an nice fat resident bow to me. Beautiful fish either way!
-
Ah, the ole cuttbow.
-
shouldnt a cutbow have slits under its jaw? i think thats just a resident raibow fatty either way.
-
Looks like a hybrid nice fish by the way

that is a cutthroat - note how the maxilliary extends well beyond the eye. The spots and colouration below the lateral line is also cutthroat. No sign of 'bow that I can see. How big was it?

At certain stages of their lives cutthroat actually lose the red slash under their jaw.
I have caught many off the beach the past few years with either no slash or a VERY faint one hardly visible unless really looking for it.
That is why you should not rely on just 1 characteristic of a fish to tell the species.
Btw I agree, I would call that a cutty... maybe a cuttbow (hybrids between rainbows and cutties are becoming a normal occurrence, and are actually impacted some places in the states where cutthroat are endangered due to introduction of rainbows).
Looks to be around the same size as the one I got last year judging by the rocks and the head size

I would say that it is about a couple pounds.
-
I think it's a rainbow by the color of the cheek

nice cutty,by the looks of its belly it has really been feasting.
