So,
This fish, as 28 of you have voted, is indeed Salmo salar, the Atlantic Salmon, and as 902 so expertly pointed out it is a "slink'.
Characters to differentiate this fish from Salmo trutta, the brown trout whom more than 2/3 of all votes were cast for, are as follows:
1. Mandible reaching the eye, not extending beyond.
2. Adipose fin without spots.
Thanks everyone for voting and feel free to post up some pictures of real brown trout.
Fish On
