SandBag:
Caught this little guy among a bunch of small trout in a ripple onthe lower AR. The trout I could clearly identify as trout but this one stumped me. Released it and did some research, it appears to be a juvi salmon, but it's hard to be positive without the fish still being in my hand. Anyone know for sure?

I'd say juvenile steelie.. Dont think the king fingerlings and juveniles stay in the river to that size... Adipose fin looks intact......... wild one
SandBag:
I was thinking the same thing about salmon leaving at a smaller size.
Nice so see some naturally spawned juvies in the home river. A few of the trout looked to be natives as well but all small.
BabyManBen:
rainbow. doesn't count as a steelie until its 16" long.
but its a juvenile.

Looks like a rainbow to me. For comparison sakes here's a juvy salmon from the Trinity a few months ago:
