Just got back from one of the greatest experiances of my life. Didn't get to fish much but still had a great time.

This is a rainbow/brown hybrid right?

Could just be an immature rainbow.

with those blotches I wouldn't think so

i thought troots had so many localized populations that hey just said "da heck with it" and called 'em all rainbows, sounds like a good time, I wish my son would have stayed in Scouts so I could go to Philmont

Rio Grande Cutthroat I believe

Colorado rocks, but you know that now.

its a stocker rainbow for sure. but a nice one!!

It didn't have a cutthroat, it was what I checked for first,they do stock them in this creek

I don't think a brown/bow hybrid exist. If its for sure not a cutthroat, its a rainbow.

No brown/bow mixes out there- lots of cutbows though.

maybe 2/3 rainbow 1/3 cut

It is kinda hard to tell, ur hand is n thr way...but I'm gonna say its a bow

Great report and pictures, thanks for sharing. I ended up choosing Sea Base over Philmont when I was in scouts, but still wish I could have done Philmont as well.

I think I'm doing Sea Base next year, thanks everyone!

Young of the year rainbow, with parr marks. Great wild fish! Rainbows are trout, browns are char, and they don't interbreed.

Glad you had fun! Thanks for the pic.

congrats on getting to go to philmont!
back in 2005 that is where i caught my first trout on fly!

im glad you got to go, did you get to go to fish camp? we didnt we just fished Ruidoso creek a bit. that was a great trip for me im glad you have a good trip too
