Must be its a cross between a Blue Wing Olive and a brown trout....
I agree w/ my brother, alot of the older holdover browns who`ve been in the river awhile, adopt that really neat looking coloration on the gill cover .It is a shade of light bluish silver and it can have a little tint of green in it.Almost like some of the beautiful colors a Landlock has after it has just been lifted from the water.And......maybe like bro said this particular brownies neat colors did`nt spread out but stayed in a dot shape.Very interesting and BTW...excellent pictures of that dandy...GBS..!!!!!!

That is not a holdover. It is a wild trout. Of that i have no doubt.
Upon further review.....I threw the red flag alittle too early,and should`ve looked closer first......Ithen noticed its fins are way too perfect and the adipose is in splendid shape .All around that is one perfect trout.Must be a wild one!!!!
I do hereby state ,....I stand corrected.....

p.s...does the bluish colored gill cover make a trout a wild trout???

Sacco's right; it's from the West Branch of the Delaware.
From the original post, anyone could have easily thought that GBS was refering to the WB of the Ausable. (All of the trout in the WBDelaware are wild fish. The brownies are descendants of two distinct original strains; a German brown and a Scottish brown).
This fish is also from the WBD: See #32. Check it out.
