Those are not trout. They are young salmons, parr as they are called in the riverine phase, before the go to sea to gain weight. They stay in the river for 3 years and 1-2 in the sea.

Yes, here in Iceland. This is for scientific purpose only, I have a special license to use the method to collect fish samples.
