Either way nice to get a lil cute one along with the fall stockies

The cute one was the best fight of the day. The fall stockies are fertilizer for my garden. Young Rainbows and wild Rainbows have some blue spots under the red stripe. I still say it's a holdover with the full fins.

I'm certain that the bluish spots/marks are parr marks that have not fully faded. Fingerlings (parrs) use them as camouflage. The marks are quite obvious on many of the spring-released trout.

Correct! And thank you for clarifying!

I would say that is a runt spring stocked fish that managed to survive the onslaught of spring fisherman.

Many holdovers in good holding water , I just boxed number 82 trout for fall fishery , what's disappointing is that nothing over 21"'s , looking for one in that 5# plus class fish , but sooner or later I'll get lucky enough to get that fish which would be #41 over 5#'lbs in the last several,seasons all taken on public hard fished streams in NJ & PA . I'm runnin low on time wreck fishing my thing now.
I wanna be like Eddie I'm really tryin' 🐟🎣😱😜
