12/21/2018 12:52:48 PMI was told once by a biologist that there is a difference between them by spots/markings but it’s such a small difference that it’s teally hard to tell once the sea runs have been in the river; having said that I was also told that if they’re on the small side it’s a safe bet they’re a resident cutthroat. Those couple I got the other day were pretty dinky so I was just assuming they were residents.
