When I first saw it I was thinking he was some lucky little fish that escaped a predator I figured they were scars, but after catching a few with the same markings it kind of made me wonder a little. Oh...forgot to mention, the markings looks EXACTLY the same on both sides of the fish.

5/4/2012 4:14:00 PMI dont know what the markings are, but i can say that isn't a Tiger trout. I have been catching tigers up north of Colville in Black Lake for the past 7 years or so (?). Personally, and i could be wrong to think so, but I'm afraid when i hear they are planting those things around now. When they first started with them in Black Lake, the lake had rainbows and browns and other fish to i believe... in the last 5 years not one person i know has caught anything but a tiger out of their. Just makes me think they must be eating all the fry of the other fish, to the point of killing everything else out. On the brighter side of it though, even those little 6-8 inch fish put up a fight that always surprises you how small they are once you actually get them eyes sight.
