>Attached are a few pictures of a rainbow trout angled from the McGregor
>Bay in the Espanola area earlier this afternoon. It is definitely a
>domestic strain quite probably a cage culture "triploid" escapee
however
>it was angled legally in open water and at 40+ pounds, it shatters the
>current Ontario Record for rainbow trout. It was weighed officially by
a
>postmaster in little current just after it was caught and the official
>weight was just over 40 pounds. With the angler's permission, I have
>removed scales for aging purposes and a dorsal ray for genetics work
and
>then froze it for further study and mounting. I also have the fish
under
>lock and key here at the Espanola Area office and I am asking for
>assistance from you as to what else if anything should be done with
this
>fish before it goes back to the angler for mounting.
