Is this a stocked trout?
I know the Ministry stopped stocking trout in our lake a while ago. Is this a stocked trout? The pectoral, dorsal, and anal fins are all split right down the middle. Additionally, the trout is more 'silvery' in colour than any of the other trout I've caught.

It's a freak of nature! Kill it! DOOO EEEET...
In the past, a stocked trout usually had a fin clipped off-- this way the MNR knew that it was stocked and when it was stocked. Each stocking year had a different fin clip. Maybe the MNR would know more about the split fin.
The fish does not look too big so it is probably natural (native) as the MNR have not stocked that lake in years and will not be stocking it. A young lake trout is usually silver and will get darker with age. . . . D.M.
