Juvenile Steelhead or Cutthroat??

Jammer,

Have to go with a resident trout.  Although you do have the similar spots of a cuttie the color is in the wrong location.  Regardless, nice fish!

Looks like a coastal cuttie to me, too. Quite possibly searun.

First picture is a westslope cutt from the Methow. Fat and has very few spots, compared to a coastal cutt. The "cut" marks are really prominent.

The second photo has lots of spots, like Jammer's cutt, but notice the pink medial stripe. It's a resident rainbow, also from the Methow.

I'm sticking with the Cutthroat.

Pisco Sicko......Those are some great pics and nice fish too.

This is just one more reason to love fishing the Clack.

The Clackamas does have a population of sea-run cutthroat.
