Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Gotta be somewhere with big schools of fish because it's tough getting that big sipping midges all day no matter what water you're on! Even the Mo fish top out around 24" with unlimited bug food basically. I have a fisheries degree so I nerd out on that stuff. Awesome looking fish though.
Clark Fork's are similar in color variation, with some chrome fish and some more like redband steelhead. Occasionally you see a McCloud type coloration, but mostly only in upper tributaries.
Those are some beautiful trouts my friend
We have lots of baitfish, sculpins in particular and crayfish. The fish because of water temps and conditions can have up to three growth rings in a single year here which all combined makes for a few large fish swimming around.
