Trout - Male or female?

[Big Bad Wulff]

I know with bass it's the male that tends the nest after eggs are laid and fertilized. Do trout guard the nest, uh I mean................said as snooty as I can.........."redd"?

P.S.: no idea on redds.

Like everyone says its way easier to tell when they are bigger!!! Here are some ways you can tell... Males-tend to have a hump back, when big have a hook jaw, Males tend to be brighter in color, they are more aggressive, have a longer and more structured jaw. Females-not near aggressive, short stubby nose, and pale coloring. Maybe that will help you out a bit!!!

Thanks, Normand! I snorted my lunch out of my nose when I read this. EZ's up in Alaska for the Summer so anything female is catching his eye...

Thanks for all the responses! I enjoyed reading them all and will take a better look at what I'm catching! I had a feeling after posting the question that I would get both true and humorous answers. With all of today's problems, we all need a good laugh too!
thanks and happy fishing!
