Rainbow trout?

Hi guys I went up to flatbrook this opening day like I've done with my father for the past 27 yrs. We hate the crowds so we walk way down stream to get away from everyone. I caught this fish early in the day but I'm not sure what it is. It has the pattern of a rainbow trout but with the colors of a brown. The picture doesn't do it justice. It's a golden orange on the gill and down the lateral line. The pectoral fins were worn off so I'm assuming it's a stocked fish. Anyone ever catch one of these. Fish was a male I believe cause it had the beginnings of a hook jaw. BTW fish was set free to be caught by another angler..

We have murky waters with alot of mud sediment on yhe bottom that's why alot of trout in jersey don't reproduce we lack a certain type of water and gravel..steelheads come into rivers chrome but after they're in the river for awhile they get the same pigmentation

Fresh stocked rainbow. Many of them have that brownish coloration with the orangey rather than red/pink stripe right out of the hatchery. When we were stocking the BFB last Thu one of the guys helping me commented on that color variation.

 

 

Trust me, Dave B knows his stuff.

Ephesians Chapter 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Joshua Chapter 1:9  
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
