Im not positive but based on the coloring and lower lip, it looks like a brown trout.

its a brook trout,reason why the pic fins are worn is because it an old breeder,its from the tanks at the hatchery,congrads on the nice fish

i can't agree that this is a brook trout. If it was a book trout the belly would be more of a dark red/brown color and the fins would have the white on the side closest to its head. The fins in this pic are a yellow color

What you have here is clearly a young adult brown trout I catch them all the time.It is absolutely not a brook trout,this bad boy here has a hooked jaw and might be sun run if youre near the shore.Lets be absolutely certain that here is a properly a German (Stell) warm water tolerant holdover....there should be more and bigger.

60 - 40 it's a salmon. A Sea Run Brown would have a darker back (greenish brown) and much more colorful spots. Very hard to tell, though.
