I have a fisheries science degree from penn state and have worked with salvelinus fontinalis and salmo trutta fry quite a bit. I am 100% confident this thing was a little Brookie. Though it is fun to see how close the two resemble eachother when they're babies. As for my buddy the bait fisherman... He's getting into fly fishing but on this night he was more comfortable with bait. Can't blame him due to some tight casting quarters on the upper end of this section. I am aware of the Tribs to this creek that hold brookies but just haven't seen reproducing brookies on the main stem of HAY. Perhaps a good sign for a stream that struggles with sedimentation issues, agriculture, and the heavy stocking.
