All right folks

I caught this trout on a Yorkshire river where I catch a lot of brownies which are traditional looking in respect of the fact they are an oaky colour with black and red spots a similar size and marking to those of the fish above yet this one is a silvery with black spots.

Please could anyone tell me whether this fish is in fact a Sea Trout and not a brown trout please?

Cheers

Looks like a stockie brownie.Or if no stocking then an escapee.

The deformed pectoral is a bit ofa give away too.

Stockie broon.

This thread has just reminded me to ask the same question (sorry for jumping in and hijacking your thread Rich!) Can I have your opinion on the photo below, also caught on a well known Yorkshire River..... a very silvery looking trout of some sort!



Many Thanks

I'd say that was a wee salmon smolt fluffchucker.The OPs fish has been hand reared.

Salmon smolt

Salmon smolt. Which river? There's one or two getting up the Wharfe now and the Ure run's pretty good..
