Lake trout have a common [[Salmonidae]] body, with an elongated figure, a single dorsal and [[Fish fin|adipose fin]], and lack spines on any of their fins. The pattern of lake trout is a uniform olive-grey, darker near the back, and white on the belly. They are covered in light beige or white spots along the body. The fins are yellow-ish, and may have white tips. During spawning, the belly becomes more yellow-orange, and the fins develop a red hue with more developed white edges. They have small but sharp teeth, which are more visible compared to other species of trout during [[Kype|non-spawning periods]].
