Adirondacks Fish. Had a slightly forked tail and no spots on the adipose. Thinking it’s just a really colored up salmon.
Let me know what you guys think.

Trout

Looks like a female Brown trout to me. Could be wrong.😜
-
It's a big male brown trout. The jaw bone extends well behind the eye. The shape of tail and adipose fin, and it has a kyped jaw. Everything about it to me says big brown.

Male Brown

Landlocked Atlantic Salmon usually have a more slender tail and lacks any spots on the adipose fin. The sure way to tell is look in the mouth: the salmon's vomerine teeth (on the roof of the mouth) are in a single row; browns have a zig-zag row.
Tight lines,

Thats a Brown. Nice one to.

I'm still thinking Brown. It appears to be leaking milt. I thought browns spawned in the Fall?? Apparently Oct/Nov is normal time for AS also, so no clue there.
No halos on the spots, but the mouth and the peduncle say Brown to me. Also spots below the lateral line and on the head (thanks FM1).
I didn't know that AS could get that coloration so I've learned something thanks to this thread.
Must not be a rare question. Here's a nice graphic from NH F&G:

You are correct it is a colored up male landlocked salmon. This one does show the confusion with a brown, the caudal peduncle is a little meatier which would lean toward a brown, but no spots on the adipose fin = landlocked salmon.
I've caught my share of fall browns and landlocked salmon and the spotting alone lends itself to more of a salmon pattern. I've pick up beautifully "butter" colored salmon before. Even the true ocean run Atlantics can take on lots of red and orange along their sides during the fall. Then again the salmon that come out of Lake Champlain have more of a drab "black" salmon coloration than some of the inland lakes.
The older the salmon get the more square the tail gets like your fish. Yearling salmon have more of a fork.
Unless of course it is a hybrid between the two. The spawning times do overlap and they have been know to hybridize in Europe.

Brown - quite a treat on a tip up, I've had them almost spool me thinking it was a big laker.
Congrats, nice fish.

I love these LLS vs BT threads. This one got me excited enough to get off my butt and do my first post of the season.
This is definitely a salmon. Fish Farmer is spot on with everything he said. Adirondack salmon that are sexually mature really don't look anything like a salmon you would catch out of Lake Champlain or another large lake. Although even Champlain salmon will get "browned up" like this when they have been in a trib for a long time. I've caught many Adirondack salmon that look just like this one - especially in the fall. Bottom line, it is a beautiful Adirondack salmon. Great catch!

Quite a few wrong answers, LOL. That's a surplus brood salmon from the NYS hatchery in Lake Clear, they stock them every year in a couple small lakes. My guess is Lake Eaton.
-
According to everything used to key out BT vs LLS, this is a Brown Trout.

I noticed the eroded dorsal and beat up nose, led me to believe it was an old brood fish.

It’s a German brown

It’s a German brown
Nope New York brown. ;D
-
Fwiw.... The brood stock from Lake Clear that I have seen have a clipped Adipose fin..The Salmon and Trout often beat their noses against the ice in pursuit of Smelt. My 2 cents
-
trout ! :whistle:
-
Looks like an LLS to me.
Only way to tell for sure is the teeth as mentioned above.
-
LL Salmon all the way , The dead giveaway for me is its love juice still flowing ! ive caught many LLS through the ice and there is always a few males still looking to get lucky durring the winter lol
-
Its a trout👍
-
Brooder salmon. Backround in picture looks like a lake near me.
-
Take a look where the lower jaw ends, Atlantics only go to the rear edge of the eye, Browns go past that. Pretty obvious.
