What did I catch? A Brown?

[Fish2win]

It is a little hard to see by the photo but I say Bow. browns have brown spots with an orange circle around the spots when they get big. Bows have a black spot pattern. I have caught ,although not that big; Rainbows as far dowm the lake as the Reactor on crankbaits at the hill. The TWRA sticks so many in the river that soem are sure to make it down into the lake. I have caught Rainbvow at Tellico as far down as the dam. I was opn the river about a week ago and every 12+ trout we caught was a brown, Fish2win

How's it going fish2win? Are you enjoying the early morning smallie topwater bite? I just wanted to comment that I have caught rainbows BELOW Melton Hill Dam. It only happened one year, but a buddy of mine caught one a couple of years ago when he was sauger fishing. I caught one on a blue and chrome Redfin while striper fishing! The fish wasn't much bigger than the bait.
