yeah that is def not a salmon, sorry haha. both brown and rainbow trout can turn a silver color when they hold over for a time i believe. That one doesn't even look like it has any pink so it's possible if where you're fishing has no damns blocking it that this fish made an ocean run last year and survived i guess. My vote would go with the private club stocking, they put all kinds of special strains in their sections of rivers and those fish are then free to roam.
