Is this a "photoshopfish" :-) The mouth/ eye relationship as well as the tail area say sea run trout but the very few spots at the body as well as at the gills say salmon.

Maybe, a hybrid, or more likely a salmon escaped from a coastal fish farm.

I had some discussion with my father over this fish. But if you say this is a 100% seatrout, i'll gladly believe that. I was confused by the enormous belly of this beatiful fish. But again Martin, well done. I'll have to make some more hours on the coast for such a fish of a lifetime. Nice to see how they really look, when you do not lose them :-) Hope to see more of those fish!!

Hi igmar,

The fish is surely a sea trout - no doubt in my mind...

That's a really nice one! But it looks like a baltic salmon to me, though. Ans Yes I am jealous, lol :)

F...... hell. Usually I do not tend to being jealous - things seem to change... Congratulations to this real first class seatrout!

Rgds,
Ole

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
