Rainbow trout - unidentified injury/disease

Looks like lamprey. What lake ?

I considered the lamprey angle but it seems quite unlikely for a few reasons. First, we're talking about a really small little piece of water. Barely larger than a large pond. I was catching one cookie cutter after another in one little section that you'd think would only be heavily populated after a recent stocking - and somebody I was chatting with told me there had been a stocking within the last week or so. So, I find it hard to believe there would be a lamprey in that little lake and find it easier to believe that the trout had an injury that may have even happened at the hatchery and then got infected pre- or post-stocking.

That's just my guess though.

The scientific term is a boo boo.
