Hi All - My wife caught this trout out in BC, north of Clearwater. I know what spp. I think it is, but I wanted to see if anyone else on the board has the same ID as me. 1, 2, 3, GO!

Rainbow or subspecies of Rainbow I think, tough to see in the pics

Juvenile rainbow. Looks a lot like the one I caught here in AB last year.

Thanks for the input, All. I thought it looked very similar to a Golden Trout (sub species of Rainbow), but couldn't find any stocking information on it for this particular lake.

If it is a stocked rainbow my thoughts would be an Athabascan. I know Ab has been raising them for stocking programs here in AB so they may have sold some stock to BC to see how the do there.
Apparently Athabascans do very well when stocked. Rumor has it they are experimenting with a couple more lakes here in AB with East Pit being one.
