How do the sea runs taste? Like trout or more like salmon? I love salmon but I'm not a fan of trout.

Great fish, doesn't effect anything but flavor (SRC taste more like kokanee or jack coho), but I don't think that was a SRC, they dumped some big rainbows in late this year, I caught 3 while waiting for the coho. The fins and rainbow on that fish have me thinking rainbow.

Good going on the fishing, nice seeing the lake ho's this season.

Agree about roger's assessment of Rainbow trout vs. cutt.

Yeah, the red stripes below the mouth are a really good indication. Did your fish have them?

Best,

here is direct comparison, SRC and rainbow I caught in Siltcoos in early OCT.

check the fin color/shape, especially bottom one near the tail...cheers, roger
