Hows this for a big Brown oop's do ya call these Ferox or is it a Salar or maybe a Seatrout, come on guys Ive nae idea. Think this one is a Salmon but nae sure as it has a small head compared to that Salmon, nasty seal bite and the maxilla is definitely in line with the eye.

salmon salar for me im afraid. even if this thread was'nt marked specimen sea troot id still have thought it wis a salmon, look how many spots are below the lateral line not many. really i dont know how ye kin call this a sea troot Have a look at Collins pics of the first two in the Seat Trout section not many spots below the lateral line so would that suggest they are Grilse. A lot of big fresh Seatrout entering the river don't have many spots until they have been in a while.

Did I read somewhere that all the hybrids from the Kielder hatchery were dumped in the Wear?

That is a nice fish you have there stump and would agree as it is a lot more streamlined and has a smaller head, to be honest I personally couldn't make a judgment from a photo unless it was really detailed a close up. As the scale count on a Salmon from the adipose fin to the lateral line is said to be usually 10-13 and 13-16 on Sea Trout, the fish in question was 15, eye relative to the mouth, tail base and flat tail, so that blows that theory out.

A cracking Sea Trout on the flY and returned on the third last day of the season estimated at 18lb +. Cracking fish, difficult to be sure from that photo but I immediately thought salmon when I saw the photo - the lack of spots are the main reason, big sea trout are multi spawners and are usually heavily spotted, even when fresh.

still a salmon Now then Stevie you ar so sure there for must have a lot of experience in catching big Seatrout in this neck of the woods. So how about posting up a pic of one of your double figure Sea Trout and give an outline in identifying one from a Salmon as I am a bit confused here. Forget about the spots below the lateral line as that is no proof on its own as a lot of fresh Seatrout that run the river I fish and many others don't have a lot of spots.
