Cutthroat trout usually have a
distinctive red or orange streak
under their lower jaw. This may not
be obvious on those found in salt
water. Coastal cutthroat differ from
all other trout by having many spots
all over the sides of the body, on the
head and often on the belly and
fins. Like all salmonids, they have an
adipose fin, a soft, fleshy fin on the
back. Sea-run individuals are silvery;
sometimes their bellies have a
distinct lemon colour, while
freshwater fish are usually darker,
with a coppery or brassy sheen. The
body may have a pale yellowish
colouring, lower fins may be yellow
to orange-red, and sexually-mature
fish often have a rose tint
underneath. Unlike rainbow trout
cutthroat have small teeth at the
base of the tongue.
