The only place I know of with bull trout is Flathead Lake, and they call them Dolly Varden, too.
I don't know of a distinction between the two and my trout book doesn't show one.

Bill asked if the fish he caught was a Dolly Varden or a Bull Trout.
Here's one of Bill's fish (a dolly?)

Here's a photo of a bull trout taken in the Metolius River, Oregon.
