I read through the threads about Fish Id...But I am still having a problem applying it.

For example, I recently acquired this rainshadow fly rod from centerpin and will be using it this weekend. I am wondering, is that decal on the rod a Steelhead or a Domestic Rainbow?:D

Thanks Goat -

Just a bit of humor from a wise-arse mod...:D

But on a serious note - high water or not - this rod is blessed with good luck from Centerpin.... The JINX is going down come this weekend!!!!

I'm sorry I shot him down but it really did look like it was photoshopped, now if he would of paid me a few bucks, I would have made him a fish that know one can tell it wasn't real. By they way Gman i got your check yesterday. ;)
