Never have seen or heard of a leopard rainbow but I was watching a fishing show once where they were catching Rainbows (6 to 12 lbs) in one of the national parks(I think Denali) The rainbows were following salmon and gorging themselves on their eggs. These trout had some of the best color I have ever seen on a fish-The blood red stripe in the middle really set them off. I always wanted to fish Alaska but only got as far as Montana. That river you show in your pictures looks like a beautiful place to fish. One thing about Trout is they live in beautiful places-thats probably why I enjoy fishing for them more than any other species.
