  • The salmon trout reminds a lot about the salmon, but the salmon trout has more dots. Just like the salmon it has the characteristic fin of fat. The salmon trout is normally smaller than the salmon. The salmon trout has a silvery colour with a greenish or brownish back, it has black and red spots along its side and it is common that it has a yellow colour underside.
