Dolly Varden / Bull Trout

Post by Big D » Sat Aug 28, 2010 6:36 pm

From Wikipedia: The back and sides are olive green or muddy gray, shading to white on the belly. The body has scattered pale yellow or pinkish-yellow spots. There are no black spots or wavy lines on the body or fins. Small red spots are present on the lower sides. These are frequently indistinct. The fins are plain and unmarked except for a few light spots on the base of the caudal fin rays. S. malma is extremely similar in appearance to the bull trout (S. confluentus), so much so that they are sometimes referred to as "native char" without making a distinction.

Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through an alley.

Jordan, shrink em down to under 200kb and they will post up instead of just having links to em...
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

It should be mentioned that they look similar to lake trout, but lakers have forked tails.
