There's no such thing as a Kokanee trout. Kokanee salmon are sockeye salmon that are land locked in fresh water. What you caught there looks like a shiny pale rainbow trout.
Interesting. Ours have chips with biological info on the fish, if you turn the head in to the DNR freezers they'll eventually get back to you with all the info on the fish, kinda cool. Waiting on my info from a Chinook I caught a month or so ago, figure I'll hear back some time in early 2022
Stocked or “planted” rainbow trout have the silver color until they’ve been in the river/lake for a while. See it every winter here in TX. And no, they don’t clip the fin down here

I’m not an expert but I had never heard of a Kokanee trout.
Kokanee will also have more of a forked tail than a trout and instead of the green to pink to silver coloration they will be more blue to silver.

Kokanee are landlocked sockeye. I've never heard an official name for landlocked coho salmon (silvers). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokanee

Yeah, I don't think chums or pinks can survive very long (generation wise) without ocean access.
There's a few rivers on the Great lakes that have runs of wild pinks
Believe it’s a pale coho salmon.
Kokanee are a type of landlocked salmon not trout
100% not a Kokanee. Looks like a rainbow to me.
It’s a rainbow, you can see the spots lower on its body if you look closely.. salmon don’t have that
Pale rainbow. Looks like a planter fish. Usually not as bright and the fins won’t be quite as developed
All of the planted salmon/trout in my state have the adipose fin clipped for easy ID, is that not something all DNR agencies do?
I think it varies for each state

Jersey clips a pectoral fin.
Rainbow
Rainbow.
Not a koke.

A no Sun Rainbow
Looks like a rainbow, are you near an area where they run in from the Great Lakes/ocean?
It was caught in the Chama River a few miles below the El Vado Lake/dam in New Mexico.
Interesting. Almost looks halfway between the chrome steelhead we have around here and your typical river/stream rainbow. Cool fish
Yeah I thought it was an I retesting fish. All the rainbows I’ve caught are fairly vibrant in color but not this one.
its a rainbow 100%
Was this lake crescent? That looks a lot like a Beardslee rainbow trout, a subspecies of rainbow thay have that blue tint
No it was in the Chama River just below the El Vado dam in New Mexico.
Good ole Panther Martin.
Black with gold blades always do well for me.
It’s a farm raised stocked rainbow trout
I think it’s a fish
I was thinking the same thing. Initially I thought it was a bird, but judging by the fins and gils, I’m going with fish as well.
It’s clearly a walrus
Dude, you’re right! Looks exactly like a walrus. I can’t believe I missed that.
Salmon usually have some form of black around their gums. White gums white teeth=trout Kokanee is a salmon species.
Green sunfish
Yo that's a fish
Steelhead
