What a beauty! Its nose almost looks like the sucker of a carp. But hey...a native trout is a native trout, right?
The head and the nose somewhat looked like a dolphin. It would be interesting to see if the nose carries through the gene pool and if we'll see some more square nose trout on putah
i see quit a few of those noses after spawning season, it happens on the males and only on the males when their kypes goes back to normal. i see it on steelhead too, not only on trout.
beautiful fish.

That makes total sense Brian - the fish was really spawned out and weak for its size. You learn something every day - thanks!!!
