The color of adult lake trout varies from light green, grey, or silvery to dark green, brown, or black on the sides and back. Light-colored spots occur on the back, sides, cheeks, dorsal fin, and deeply forked tail. Often, the light-colored spots run together into larger spots or worm-like markings. No red spots or other bright colors appear on the body. Sometimes, narrow, white borders appear on the front edges of the lower fins but are never as distinct as those on the brook trout. The flesh may be white, pink, orange, or orangered, depending on diet and physical condition.
