Is this a Cutthroat or some kind of Cutbow hybrid?  I've never seen a Rainbow with this spotting pattern, but I've never fished in Wyoming either. Nice fish!

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. The head/neck shape looks different than I'm used to, but it's probably some strain or hybrid (or I'm just imagining things).

Could very well be a cut bow. There’s a lot of mixing going on in the area I was fishing. Looked more like a rainbow then the cutthroats I was catching. I’ll post  one of those later today.
