Not only is that a 'bow, but it is an absolutely huge rainbow for the Finger Lakes.  Good thing you have the measurements, in case you knifed it, for a replica!!  Great job!!

No knife. He's swimming. Blood you can see is actually from the mouth behind the eye where it was hooked. No need to keep for mounting purposes anymore. The replicas look just as good as the real thing IMO and the fish still swims to boot.

I'd like to see a tail on a LL that isn't forked

Good for you Jim :yes:  It looked like a female and if she spawns again those are real good genes to contribute back to the gene pool

John I think what Nick means is that sometimes the tail may not be as pronounced in the forking (i.e. just slightly forked) and I've also seen it fairly often so really to really be sure the position of the upper jaw jaw and its relationship to the eye (extends to the edge of eye not past it as in the brown) and with a rainbow the entire tail is spotted top and bottom as well as on the dorsal fin. The fork in the tail of the one you caught on the ice was classic but it isn't always that distinct.
