These guys look like Alaska Lepord Rainbows, they look nothing like a smolt or anything else around here for that matter, too many spots and shapped like a football. One thing that I left out is that it is rumored that the upper Bogachiel way way upper has a population of resident rainbows that grow to large size, up to 5 or 6 pounds. I have never been up high enough to go after these fish but know a couple guys that have. I showed the Pic to one of them and he said it looked just like the ones in the upper river. These fish supposidly live in the headwaters about 15 to 20 miles above the parkline. Thats a long ways to walk so very few people have ever gotten the chance to catch these fish. I gues its been a local secret for years. I dont see a problem with letting it out as I dont think many people whant to beat the brush 20 miles to go after these fish. Ill poat a pic soon

My thought is that some of these fish migrated down for some reason. Maybe over population and in search of food I dont know. Ill post the pic
