Again I hope to attend the F&G meeting this Saturday, will see if any biologists are available and I'll post their opinions.

Tom.. If you look at the comparison photo of the 3 browns/3 salmon, that the guy on LOU posted, you will see the TYPICAL look of browns/salmon.. Deeper tail fork, less spotting on the LL that does not go as far down toward the stomach/ventral area, mostly all black specs instead of the colored round spots on the brown, and in general the LL are more "silvery" than the browns.. Thats why I put the word "typical" in caps.
However, there is always the genetic oddball here or there, and on LOU we see this type of thread regularly.. The answer is ALWAYS the same.. Check inside the mouth, its the most conclusive way to identify... Of course, no one ever does! bob
