The pictured fish appears to be a wild A-run (adipose fin intact). As you know, wild fish are to be released "unharmed." They should not be removed from the water.

FYI, Idaho does not have the same rule regarding taking a fish out of the water for a quick picture.

I am well aware of the Idaho regs. I said the fish SHOULD not be removed from the water which is beyond debate, especially in warm water conditions and later in the season when air temperatures are below freezing. Netting a fish, dragging it into a boat, passing it around for photos and then dumping over the side are harmful. Consider that last year's wild B-run above LGD totaled 350 fish to thousands of miles of pristine habitat. Give'em a break.
