    Dude, what a great video!!! Man, they were killing it that day, eh? I snagged a big one over near Helen, GA the other day. 3 pounder that was a left over from Opening Day Tournament cause it had a tag on it. I was tempted to filet that dude but I let it go so some kid could catch it. Your vids are always great, Matt. Enjoy the heck out of them.

    How can you tell a trout fish is wild or stocked? Which fins would be altered if stocked?

  • @TheTroutGuy1
    @TheTroutGuy117 күн бұрын

    Wilds will have all their fins. Sometimes stocked trout will have one or more of their fins clipped, or rubbed off from the hatchery tank. Wild rainbows don’t get that big on the Tellico. Maybe 7-10 inches. So the wilds will usually be smaller. Sometimes it’s just really hard to tell lol

    How can you tell if they are wild or stocked?

  • @TheTroutGuy1
    @TheTroutGuy1Ай бұрын

    Wild trout in the smokies are typically smaller fish. Besides a selected amount of streams. They’re also so rare. So when you go out and catch 3-7 bigger fish you can just assume they’re stockers. In this stretch of water, the rainbow trout get around 8-10 inches. Maybe a 12 inches if you’re lucky. The stock trout will not have all their fins. They’ll be rubbed away from the hatchery tank. If a stock trout has lived a few years in the water prior to being stocked, they’re called hold overs. And they will grow their fins back. And look kinda wild.
