That's what I was thinking 4salt beer Rich- thanks for starting this thread. When I landed the fish, I was in a hurry to get the shot and release it. I assumed it was a residulaized/resident rainbow. Looked like a heavily spotted rainbow, not unlike the AK "leopard bows." When I looked at the pics later, my first thought was-- Cutt/Bow. Two casts after that one, I landed a silvery rainbow, about the same size. Certainly cool to bump into these fish occasionally, no matter what their kinky parent were thinking laugh
