I caught this guy last week a mile or so down river from where stock. I’m trying to find out his story, and their behavior in this river. Also any guess on age or weight? I know you can’t tell exactly on looks, but ball park based on size/colors/jaw?

possibly stocker do to the dorsal fin being a bit wonky.
non the less a great catch
Do they clip the adipose fin in your state before they plant fish? That’s how we identify stocked trout in Michigan.
Looks like a brood stock hatchery fish. Because of the weird fin
Nice fish handling!
It looks stocked based on the damaged dorsal fin and blunt mouth. Even with intact adipose fin. I’d say no adipose fin is definitely stocked, but intact could be either way since there’s exceptions
