The fish features a dark olive-green to gray back, silvery-white belly, and numerous pale cream or yellowish spots scattered across its sides and dorsal fin. Its mouth is large with prominent teeth, and the caudal fin is deeply forked-key traits distinguishing it from similar species like brook trout.
