Yellow perch or bluegill. Two of my favs.

Great story...I've caught my share of rainbows and dropped some upland birds. I've always considered wild food sacred food. Thanks for posting the pic, a beauty.

And they taste best when caught through the ICE
around here the water becomes very clear once the ice covers the lakes, which cleans that odd but not unpleasant tast from the fish.
The meat becomes a little sweeter YMMV

If true, when does a rainbow become a steelhead?

Different fish....steelhead migrate to the ocean and return to their birth fresh water streams to mate.

Only on thw west coast,Anadromous (sea run) in the great lakes they are called Steelhead after they migrate and spawn in the surounding rivers and streams.

What a beautiful fish! A freshly caught trout is a meal fit for a king.

Phrank, I can't quite make out the color of your toe nail polish in the picture.

No toe nail polish - that's patina...
