Peterjay 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2012 Not a bull trout. I've caught a lot of them. Bull trout have no spots on the dorsal fin. I'd go for a very sad looking laker or splake. I stand corrected. I don't know if trout suffer from depression, but that one looks like it's a good candidate for a dose of Prozac. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluegill576 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 I have heard back from one of the fish biologist I emailed and he has said that he thinks that it is a lake trout that could have gotten down somehow from the dam upstream of where the fish was caught about 5 miles or so. He didn't think that it could be a splake trout. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
