I just looked at the Idaho Fish and Game Dept. homepage.  In some of their
tech reports (as well as fishing reports) they seem to refer to the large
rainbows of Lake Coeur d'Alene as rainbows or Kamloops interchangeably.
Interestingly enough the official list of Idaho record fish features a
37-lb. "Kamloops" from Lake Coeur d'Alene in 1947 and a 19-lb. "rainbow"
from Hayden Lake, also in 1947 (as well as a 24-lb. cutt/rainbow hybrid from
Coeur d'Alene in 1991).  As I said above (and I wish I could find my
reference), I believe that the "Gerrard" rainbow is one of several strains
of trout derived from lakes in the Kamloops region (in this case, Gerrard
Lake).  I don't think that the Kamloops has ever even been granted
subspecies status.  Haig-Brown pointed out in A River Never Sleeps that the
only way in which the Kamloops, or interior, rainbow differed
morphologically  from the coastal rainbow or even the steelhead was in a
slightly higher lateral line scale count, and even that difference
disappeared when the young were reared at a slightly higher temperature.
