Hello. Can anyone identify this fish for me? Caught in a little pool on Scoggins Creek a little ways before the creek enters Hagg lake.
Thank you for any help.

They swim up the Tualatin to Gales. I believe they used to spawn way up Scoggins before the dam. I can't imagine why the dam would make them stop. Probably even better conditions now with the colder water from the lake.troutdude said:There's steelhead in Scoggins Creek / Hagg Lake?
My guess is a native cutthroat.
I don't think it's possible for them to get past the dam. Or is there a fish ladder that I don't know about lol. I've fished there before and I caught some 8-10 in trout that didn't look like rainbows or cutthroats maybe a hybrid I have no clue XD. I also caught some cutthroats with bright red slashes under their throat.bass said:They swim up the Tualatin to Gales. I believe they used to spawn way up Scoggins before the dam.

I don't see any red under the throat. Also I thought juvenile cutthroat had a heavily spotted dorsal. I definitely believe it is one of the two.
But he said he caught it right before it enters Hagg lakebass said:I agree. No fish can get past the dam. He caught it below the dam.
Just curious why you love these threads?Troutski said:I love these threads.....

Casting Call said:Caught the same just below Nehalem Falls just under the bridge. Looks to be native hybrid. Tony
