Looks like a typical stained water sauger to me!

It’s dark blotches on the sides and back are not very pronounced. And it looks more gold than a typical sauger. I say saugeye.

So my question is , if it's not a walleye and it's not a sauger , it's a "saugeye" and your regs say you can't keep walleye or sauger can you keep a saugeye?

Doesn’t it have all the distinct features of a sauger? Water conditions, temps, and time of year affect colorations but not distinct species identifiers.

A large percentage of Walleye that are in the same waterbody or river system as Sauger have some degree of hybridization. Could have 15% sauger or 50%
Same as some subspecies of trout in North America, DNA testing is largely required.
As for judging which ‘eye is the closest to 50%, I take Talking Moose’s word as law!

I’ve been told the defining characteristic f&w will look at it the white tip of the tail. White = walleye. No white = sauger. that’s just one opinion, but it makes pretty good sense from a field judging perspective. Any further analysis would require genetic testing.
I’d call it a sauger

Seems a tad light to be a pure Sauger to me, if that's the Bow. The one's I have caught on that river are usually quite dark.

Yeah it must have both some sauger and walleye in it.
As others have mentioned they cross breed and aren't sterile so many of the walleye and sauger populations have mixed genetics to some point. That one actually looks very walleye ish but there are a couple sauger traits obvious.

If there are scales on the cheeks it's a Saugeye. If no scales on the cheeks it's a walleye, it certainly is not a sauger.
Dorsal fins look walleye like ie black spot at rear where main dorsal connects to the fish. Also the rear dorsal has few to no spots which is also walleye like.
It also has as white line on the underside of it's tail which sauger ussually don't but saugeye do.
