Hey everyone, I went fishing with my daughter today and we caught quite a few trout. Was hoping someone could identify these fish for me? I honestly can’t tell whether they are Brook? Brown? Rainbow?

1/4/5/7 are rainbow. It’s pretty easy to tell as they will have the characteristic pink stripe on their sides.
The others look to be splake. They are a hybrid species between Brookies, as well as lake trout. Technically a char species, they will have vermiculations on their back (worm like squiggly lines). I like to call char squiggle backs.
