That is WAY COOL! Your a good neighbor!

 

[eugene1]

Very nice!

That don't look like a trout to me though!

 

[Komatoast]

do you think it's a salmon?

Yes, it looks like a chinook to me! Where did you take the kid fishing?

 

[troutdude]

Shiny! <some may note the sci-fi reference...ha ha>

But seriously...looks like a minty fresh Springer.

How and where did you catch it? Just curious looking at the rod propped up on the chair in the picture. Not on power bait?

It's a steelhead with an adipose fin.

I'm a little stumped now myself.

I'm guessing you haven't looked at the regs in a while.

 

[rogerdodger]

I agree it's a wild steelhead, lots of spots, especially on the tail.

Almost everyone makes a mistake with the regs. now and then, 'fishermen' get things figured out and don't repeat the mistake, sometimes with a citation/fine to help it sink in, sometimes not.

(never mind, I thought it was from the Columbia River...)

Judging by the fact you have a stringer in your hand I'd say you Kept that fish. I know your new to the area so you might want to talk to some folks around town or read up on what your actually pulling out of a body of water.

 

[Komatoast]

It was caught in Klamath Lake using frozen minnows on a crappie rig. all legal :harhar: I'm sure the fish & game guy would have given him a citation when he checked for licenses and saw the fish.

Klamath has some beasts in it!

 

[Komatoast]

my buddy took a 12.2 pounder out of klamath lake last year.

 

[troutmasta]
