Sorry right off the bat for sounding like a dork but that is a wild stream bread fish that is absolutely gorgeous.  Nice work but the only native  trout we have around these parts is the brook trout.  Native fish are those that originated in a location such as the brook trout in the Appalachian mountains.  Rainbow trout originated in the pacific as a sea run species typical to a salmon.  Anyway great fish something to be very proud of!!!!

  Like you said, Native fish are those that originated in a location. Rainbow trout were put in this mountain stream over 30 years ago. Thus making this trout a native rainbow if it was born in this stream. Thanks VATURKEY

Actually, it would be considered wild, not native. As stated before, the only trout native to that area are Brook Trout. And technically they aren't even a trout, but rather a Char. Regardless, that's a beautiful fish, and I'm jealous!

Did you catch it on a fly rod. If you did what fly pattern did you use? Nice, Rainbow.

[Reloader]

That's a dandy. Congrats

Nice fish..Ive caught some nice natives..but none that size. A pole will darn near reach across the native streams I fish.

That is a beauty!  Way to go!

Yes I did catch it on a fly rod but not on a fly. I use small live minnows for trout. I've got a 6 ft scott fly rod with a small ultralite reel on it. Works really good for tight spots. Thanks   Ricky

Regardless whether it is native or wild, it is a beautiful trout.
