Re: [VFB] photo journal update-Wes

[DonO]

Wes, Do you have a site that shows the distinction?  I just checked my trout book and it shows the Dolly as s. malma,  but also says the alternate local names are bull trout, red spotted trout, and a few char names. There is no additional entry for the bull trout. It's a fairly recent book, 1963, so I would like to see some bull trout information.   A few years ago, I caught a very silvery trout on the N. Platte.  It went around 5 lbs., and like Bill's trout, it was a whale of a fighter.  It did not look like a rainbow, brown, cutt, or any other trout I'm familiar with.  It was silver-white top to bottom and covered with black spots.  I was told it was a different strain of brown trout.  Are you familiar with it?  I can send you a photo.   DonO     ----- Original Message ----- From: Wes Wada To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 5:43 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] photo journal update They are definitely two different species.

I don't know of a distinction between the two and my trout book doesn't show one.   DonO     ----- Original Message ----- From: Wes Wada To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 4:58 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] photo journal update Bill asked if the fish he caught was a Dolly Varden or a Bull Trout.
