Stocked or wild?

[tomitrout]

Caught upstream of the most immediate stocking point. Judging by the clean fins and red adipose, I'm guessing a wild stream bred fish?

Okay, here we go...

Wild.

It's a wild Sardine in water not olive oil

Wild

Wild, albeit he/she needs to eat more!

 

[ryansheehan]

Not fat enough to be stocked. I don't see any signs of a stocked fish, but fingerling stockings are all but impossible to tell.

Wild, those I'm surprised by no well define par marks for being that young/small???

If that were a Gemmie it'd be good sized for makin' Gemmie Fries.

Clearly wild.

I agree. They are usually more pronounced on very small wild trout, which that one obviously is. It could just be the lighting/angle of the pic.

100% certainty on streambred. Meaning, its been in the stream since the swim up fry stage. And never had hatchery feed.

IMO for what it's worth - wild.

If I was surveying that stream it is getting recorded without question as a wild brown.
