scarry....i thought credit river chinny's were big and ugly...these are on their own plateau

[ch312]

i remember when i was a kid my dad had a fishing magazine with an article about catching giant trout using dead squirrels as bait. i thought they were lake trout or something but i guess this must have been the same kind of fish in that article. this was 10 years ago or more...

Awesome. Correct me if I am wrong, but those look a lot like Brown Trout, or are they something completely different.

Your a guide arent you. When I was a student I spent one summer working as a tech for the Alaskan DNR, doing spawning surveys in the remote wilderness didn't pay worth a crap but it was a trip of a lifetime.

They are a different genus (Hucho) than brown trout which are classified in the Salmo genus along with atlantic salmon. Base on this, in don't think they are too closely related to browns despite their similar appearance.
