Cutbow
That is nice, thick cutthroat!
Here is a cutbow from the Oldman R. caught this spring for comparison, mostly rainbow characteristics other than the orange slash.
And then this one from the Castle R. caught last year that is more cutthroat.
Regardless, looking at your catch totals, it doesn't look like you guys will have any issues catching a cutty, no need to measure in a cutbow (unless it's a monster of course). Good luck with your search.

Thanks Hacman...since you mentioned it, I'll tell you I got that one from the Castle as well.
I'm ashamed to say I don't really see the differences between those two pics of yours...I obviously have to do a bit of research! If there's any blatant things I should be noticing let me know, otherwise I might have to borrow my brother's million and one species book

Just looking quick, it seems the biggest difference is that Rainbows tend to have black spots above and below their lateral line, and Cutties are typically only above. Well, the slash is probably the biggest difference, but that's another one.
I'm looking at pics of different guaranteed rainbows I've caught, and I see a mix...the smaller ones don't seem to really have spots on the bottom, but the bigger ones have tons...I don't get it...lol...darn fishing!

Thanks! I haven't caught a cutbow yet but I haven't spent the time in the area yet either. That's some great pictures for example, can easily tell which one is half rainbow!

If you catch something you are sure is a cutbow I guess submit it as what it appears to closest represent. If it looks like a rainbow like Hacmans above but has a tiny slash count it as a rainbow(since some rainbows can even have slash). If it looks like a cutty but you think it might be a cutbow then submit as a cutty, if it shows the characteristics I can't really deny it as an entry.
Better yet just don't catch any cutbows, it makes my life easier lol.

Don't mock your entry Ninja, that's the 2nd biggest one in the derby! ;-)
Nice walleye Mitch...geez, everyone's a genius at catching big walleye. That's one fish I obviously have to learn better...ah who am I kidding, I have to learn them all

Question: If I'm trolling around in the boat and let one of my kids hold my rod while trolling for a bit (and I just have one rod in the water) is that cool to count in the derby?

No you cant use other peoples fish even if it is your rod. You have to catch the fish in order to count it.

Alright I wasn't sure how that worked for like a 3 year old.. Was thinking if I was trolling for a bit and she wanted to help hold my rod for a couple minutes and we happened to get a bite then it would still count (I would be reeling it in, she's only 3..). Figured she'd be looked at similar to a rod holder which I know would be ok to count. But thanks for clarifying.

If you are the one fishing, casting retrieving etc then can claim it. If your kid is reeling it in etc then hard to claim it as your fish. Pretty sure you will know if it is your fish or not.

Wow, nice weekend for Hacman. Not sure when I'll get out next, but at the rate Hacman's catching species, hopefully it's soon! Nicely done Hac!

I wish you guys would start working like me...Ricky and Platinum, I see you snook out yesterday and caught lakers....must be nice!
Not that I want Ricky to gain any more inches (he's getting too close) according to my spreadsheet he actually has 191 inches...it's possible I miscalculated or wrecked my spreadsheet while changing formulas and formatting cells, so maybe Ricky you should verify and then let Rav know if there's a change. Rav potentially missed one of your million upgrades (probably your Rainbow update to add .75") or maybe it's my bad...
You guys are lucky, doesn't look like I'll have a chance to derby post for awhile yet, but for sure by the end of July I'm hoping to get another 1-4 species...something tells me Rav will take advantage of the fact, Platinum will continue to sneak out, and Ricky will keep hurtling upgrades at us ;-)

Remind me to find you a wife to tie you down, a job to keep you close to home, and some extra shackles just in case you still manage to sneak away ;-)
Maybe also 5 kids, 3 dogs, and volunteering 3 times a week...that should do the trick!

Uploading pics is easy Ricky .
Step 1: Create photobucket account
Step 2: Upload photo to photobucket
Step 3: Paste photo link in image tags
Way better quality then attaching it via AO.

Spent a little over an hour looking for a spot to fish.
My favorite spot was occupied by a bunch of people drinking beer and smoking pot.
Went downstream a quarter mile. So shallow the dog and i walked out to the middle and cast from there. Not even a nibble.
I think i need a fly rod.
I even remembered my paper token today!

Went out to a really great spot on the rdr today.
Forgot my token, tape, and tarp for the fish to lay on...
I have been painting my own jigs lately, tried some out for the first time.
Second cast of the day. After this one, hooked 3 more, none made it to shore though.

Nice one Hydro!
Nice mooneye Dago...I should have caught 5 Mooneye by now, but for some reason ever since a beaver broke my custom pickerel rig and I put a new one on, I'm having troubles catching fish in the river. I can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong...

I've been at a bit of a standstill...my remaining species for the derby are a bit of a pain to get! I also hate giving up my precious trout time for a darn perch or whitefish or sauger...but what can you do...lol.
I see my brother is right behind you Rav, but don't worry, he's going to Mexico, so no need for immediate action ;-)
Ricky's bound to get back to work so should hopefully stop seeing his daily posts soon..haha

I think we should suspend the derby while there is a warm water advisory out. I will not be entering any more while the advisory is in place.

I agree with Dago; in fact, in these perilous times of warm water advisories and such low water, I feel it would be our duty to suspend it for the remaining year. With that in mind Rav, could you please add up the totals and see who won? ;-)

It is just an advisory, the derby will proceed as there are still many bodies of water that are fine to fish be it lakes and ponds or streams to the north or west.
If you are worried about this then I recommend following SRD's advice and carry a thermometer and be very careful with fish if the water temp is over 22 degrees. Choose deeper colder bodies of water to fish now, there is still lots of time later in the year to fish other areas once they have cooled down a bit.
