This is a pic of a fish I caught about 7 years ago in Lake Michigan. I was about 10 at the time and I'd say this really got me hooked in fishing. Tell me what you think it looks like because to me it looks differnt then how it should look.
 
is it a female steal head trout
 
Most likely correct based on the actual mount!....If it were a Brown trout it should have spots on their dorsal fins.

(While it is possible the taxidermist left that detail out..then debating what kind of fish it is is somewhat pointless in the first place, if it doesn't represent that actual fish that was caught.)

Exactly, I think the original fish was likely a female brown trout..and the taxidermist just left out alot of details making the mount resemble a coho.

Here is what a fairly typical great lakes brown will look like.
