[VFB] RE: Dolly Varden and Bull Trout

[Neville Gosling]

It can be very hard to tell the difference between the two species, and to make matters even more complicated, there are ocean going varieties.  I have experienced what I used to refer to as Dolly Varden follow a small trout that I have hooked on a fly. I now believe these to be Bull Trout. Now why do we call them trout when they are not trout at all but char? Why not Bull Char? Seems the taxonomists screwed up.   Nev Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C.
