Brood trout are any specie of trout used for breeding purposeses. That one you caught was put in there as it's job was done and it was getting older.....so they stocked them for folks to catch. My sons had a few a couple of weeks ago. I know that had to be a great fight. At one time...many years back they stocked Normandy with brown trout...but stopped as they did not do well there. While a brown may get mixed in it is not likely....but can happen...but not one that big....it is a rainbow. Here is pic of rainbow looks pretty much like yours.
