Hmmmmm. Sounds like the dreaded Black-spotted Whitefish, to me. Allan

OK, DonO's being vague about this. I've looked at the picture and it's indeed a trout/salmonoid of some sort.
*Correctomundo
The problem is that the photo is bad and somewhat blurry.
*Sorry- pocket camera scanned into pc as jpeg. *All pics of ufo's and uso's are taken blurry, don'tchaknow.
Info is needed to make an ID from a photo like that.
1) where was the fish caught? *N. Platte River, Wyoming, Gray's Reef
2) Does the fish have a cutthroat marking? *No
Are the spots ALL black? *Yes
Or are there other colors? *Vague shades of yellow on fins, rest pearl white, just slightly darker on top.
Do the spots have holo's? *No HAlos's, unless you meant holographic spots- no also.
You cannot tell from the photo. It appears that the leading edges of the fish have a tinge of white? Is this correct? *Yes
Also what are the sides of the fish like? Silvery? *Pure pearl white
Any rainbow colors or red? *No
Is the skin fine like a char? *Reg. scales like a trout
Or a little course like a true trout? A lot of hybrids out there. and some fish take a biologist to ID and sometimes they even debate the issue IE: Dolly Varden/Bull trout.
OK, DonO lets have some answers. This is fun.
