    Deschutes Cuttbows?

    That's really common for certain rainbow strains. I've caught many Deschutes bows in my life and plenty had faint slash marks on their throats. I've even caught steelhead in that river that had faint throat slashes. Back when the Warm Springs river was open (I cut my fly fishing eye teeth on...
