Dirty D trapper D Joined: Nov 2014 east central WI	Originally Posted by newhouse114 While I was guiding in western Alaska we would catch bows in the 5-7 lb range regularly. A few in the 8-9 lb range. These were all fast water fish, not big bellied lake fish. the rainbows that are in the great lakes are more what I suspect you'd call "fast water fish" even tho they live in a lake. Pictures for ref. I never weighted my fish. I measured length, the average size was about 20-25" in length. Biggest one I saw was a little over 30". Nice rainbow OP, how big of a river did that come out of?

I see a small bass under you right hand in the first photo......jk Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free. What's supposed to be ain't always is. Hopper Hunter
