I'll tell you Wes, you have to be a biologist sometimes to tell the difference. If you read "trout and salmon of north america" you will know why I say it could be either. Sometimes the bull trout will have predominant Dolly markings and vise versa. So the bottom line is... you can't tell from looking at a picture. I will try to contact a local biologist and let everybody know...

Bill asked if the fish he caught was a Dolly Varden or a Bull Trout.

Here's one of Bill's fish (a dolly?)
