Nice fish Photo by Terry Allen

Terry Allen took this picture of Andrew McGahuey from Rock Springs and his German Brown at Green River Lakes on Sunday, Oct. 18th.

Editor’s Update, 10/20/15: Well, this picture generated quite a bit of exchange between fishermen who questioned the identification of this fish as a German Brown. Some insisted it was a lake trout, others suggested it might be a splake (lake/brook trout hybrid). We got the definitive word from Wyoming Game & Fish Fish Biologist Darren Rhea who ID’d it as a lake trout. Apparently it is important to know the difference because there are different rules for the different species, which have distinctive markings, spotting, and either flat or forked tails.
