Dipteran
I can't tell you much more, maybe someone else can. I don't know of any fly larvae that parasitize the digestive system in trout, so perhaps it was gobbled up.

Tipulomorpha possible?
This was definitely eaten by the fish. Possible Crane Fly larva?

No not a tipulid.
This is a more advanced fly, it has mouthparts that are hooks and not a head capsule inserted into the prothorax.
