They are brown trout.

Anyone else agree the second one looks very unique for its small size? It has already taken on the shape of a fattie yet it's miniscule!
 
yep, he been feeding well.

brookies will have a reddish fins, with the leading edge being white, with a golden red belly, and yellow spots
 
wish the pics were a bit cleaner but looks like brownies.

yea some of them look mature at a smaller size if they are eating well and living in faster water
 
red dots when they're young...brown. not my picture but this is a brown.

I think that they're baby rainbows. If you search baby rainbow trout that's the pic that comes up.
 
Its really hard to tell in the pic. The tail looks like it has a bit of a fork developing which makes me think it could be an Atlantic but that could just be the way you are holding it. To me it looks like either an atlantic or a bow.

Edit:

Since there are no spots on the tail i'm going to remove bow from my guessing list and add Brown and maybe a coho. I would expect to see more spots if it were a brown but they don't always follow the rules. The tail on the second fish is strange.
 
Spots, colour, position of eye relative to jaw, shape, all 99.9% brownies, with the 0.1% chance they are Atlantics that look exactly like browns :)
 
lol.......guessing fish identification online can be a terrifying experience. Good thing we have some bonafide experts around here.
 
Not brook trout 100%

First pic = brown trout

Second = brownie pretty sure
 
It's actually the extremely rare "brown trout pike" - a pike with the head of a brown trout, and the body of a brown trout!
