looks healthy, probably a holdover if your area is stocked but good as a native

The adipose fin isn’t clipped, and a lot of places clip stocked trouts adipose fins to help differentiate between them and wild trout so depending on where you’re located I’d say it’s wild/native

If they stock trout there, it’s most likely a stocked trout

Tough to tell for sure from that pic but based on the tail I would say stocked. What state are you in?

are brown trout actually native to your area or are you referring to a wild born fish because there is a difference

Can’t tell from the photo. Stockers (water chickens) often have clubbed fins and a blunted anterior.

Stocked fish.
Wild fish do not have dorsal fin erosion.
