Hi,

Caught a few baby fish last week in Don, but not sure it's a baby trout or baby salmon.  ??? By the way, I saw a DVD on ADAA website (Strathdon hatchery). Did anyone watch it, and the quality? Cheers.

I'd like to say that is a trout.

I thought that at first...but then changed my mind to Salmon because the "thumb prints" down its side are well defined and it has a single spot on its gill cover. It was the fins that made me think Trout as they looked to have a white edge..but closer a closer look had me changing my mind.
