Spec Vs White Trout

Kenton · 11-23-2007, 08:51 PM

We have been fishing the 3 mile bridge a lot and been catching loads of trout, but we aren't sure if what we are catching is spec or white trout. What is the easiest way to tell the difference? Is it as simple as one has speckles and the other does not?

You'll be able to tell the difference when you see them. White Trout is white, the Specs have spots...

Speck green with dots, white trout brown back silver belly if you where at the 3 mile this time of year probably white trout.
