Brown trout with no spots
Last year I caught this brown trout (I'm pretty sure it's a brown?) in the bow and it had absolutely no spots on it. I know this pic quality sucks, but trust me, it had no spots. Is this common? I couldn't find any pictures of spotless browns on the net.

Looks more like a bull trout to me. Did it have white bands along its fins?

If the pelvic and anal fins have white leading edges thats usually a give away for a Bull trout. Its hard to tell from the picture if the fins are white or just bent and we are seeing the bottom edge.
Nice fish!

No possible way that could be a bull trout! If anyone thinks it is, you shouldn't be fishing. Look at the tail people!! WOW 100 percent BROWN TROUT

Interesting. Everything about that fish said Brown except it's colours. The bull's that I've caught usually narrow more toward the tail and the tail isn't as distinctively square as they are on a brown. Thanks for your input everyone.

Also, I caught it on the lower bow...are there bulls in there where it's considerably warmer below the water treatment plant?
