Northwest Fishing Reports

I caught this about 2 months ago on heart lake fishing with powerbait
does anybody have an explanation?
I was thinking it could have been caused by the heat that they placed the triploid eggs under in order to make them trips

i didnt put a pic on there

there you go sorry bout that

weird i dont know looks like a crappie shaped trout

I'm sure it was DEE LEE CIOUS

Wow! Looks like that guy ate another fish whole! What do they call it when they find a conjoined twin inside somebody's body? One twin absorbs the of the other? You hear some odd story in the news about it every once in a while.

Was there anything out of the ordinary when you cleaned this fish? Just built that way?

Looks like it swallow someones whole jar of Power Bait.

I'm sure it was DEE LEE CIOUS

I filleted it and put it in my freezer along with about 20 stockers that I'm going to smoke

it was just built that way and no there wasn't another fish inside it. lol

I have trout fished most of my life and have never seen anything like that,very interesting.

i think you may have stumbled upon a new type of trout

I have seen them before, even before they started to do trips, so it could just be a plain old mutated fish. About the early 70s, in a stream in Southern Idaho (no name spring to the best of my knowledge), we caught a couple like that.

Still, I have not seen one since, so you have a rare picture for sure.

Probably has to do with the hatching process. Just a mutation.

Hmm... "Humpy Trout".

"Trumpy"? :joker:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Trout?

( Somebody hadda say it. )

How do you know your "Mutant Trout" were dimented?

I caught one like that a couple years back, there was never any triploids planted in the lake.
This one was 11" long but from back bone to belly was 6" looked like a frisbe. Wish I had a
picture, I threw it back.

looks like a baby Rufus Woods Trout it will grow and be a big football trout!

I just thawed out my all my trout and while soaking them in brine I found the two fat little fillets!
wound you eat them or should I just feed them to my dog.
