Is this a rainbow? I’m starting to think it’s a smallmouth 😂

  1. Doesn’t look like a rainbow. What part of the world are you in? What body of water?

  2. It was caught in the Farmington River in Connecticut. He was about 10″, so I let him go. Thought it was a rainbow, but colors looked weird. Thought I was something with the lighting, but I think salmon are illegal in my state, so good thing I let home go

    No matter the state, in Southern New England if this atlantic salmon is naturally produced it is a very rare fish. Did you catch it in the Connecticut river? IF it is a sea run it is probably of interest to state fisheries biologists in whatever state you are in. I would notify them of this catch. If you are fishing in a Lake Champlain tributary or something like that less so. Forgive me if those dont qualify as southern New England, im just a salmon loving Oregonian who follows Atlantic salmon recovery efforts from afar hoping for them to succeed.
