Koke or trout ?
I saw this pic on another board. The poster said the fish is a koke.

I'm no expert, but don't Kokanee have something of a slight fork in the tail.

The camera flash has those scales lit up nicely making it look really chrome but a kokanee it is definately not.

Re: Koke or trout ?
The square tail with black spots around it and roundish head do look like rainbow traits. Did they say what lake it was caught out of?

Hatchery rainbow. Look at the deformed dorsal and the flat top of the tail.  Nice fish though.

Re: Koke or trout ?
That my friend is a very nice rainbow trout (O. mykiss), not a Kokanee (aka. sockeye salmon or O. nerka).

Definitely a rainbow. Sometimes if they spend a lot of time in open water they take on that coloration, just like a steelhead would at sea.
