Mystery Fish

[FishFearMe]

I went fishing on the Bow last month with a friend of mine. Had a great day! My friend caught a fish that I cant identify. I never saw the fish so dont know whether the tail was forked or not. All I saw is the picture I am uploading. To me it looks like it has the headshape of a trout and the markings of an eastern chain pickeral. I dont think I have ever seen a fish quite like it. Can someone help us identify the species?

looks exactly like a lil laker! and ya some rivers have a fair amount like the upper bow but most lake trout stay in the lakes.
