![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2007, nearly 30 men and boys, all friends (same genus, most of them) and family (same species, although in some cases there may be reason to question if this is true) of mine, spent a week at Trout Lake in Canada. Lake trout are gray, greenish-blue, or bronze, with pale spots on their bodies and fins. In the northern part of their range lake trout inhabit streams connected to lakes. They are native only in the northern United States and Canada, but they have been introduced into cold lakes in Europe and South America (25% of all Lake trout are found in the province of Ontario, Canada). The normal maximum is about 60 pounds (27 kg), but some individuals weigh more than 100 pounds (45 kg). Lake trout ( Salvelinus namaycush) is a freshwater char-also called togues or mackinaw trout -are the largest of all trout. Since I’m not interested in preparing you or myself for a PhD, we’ll just take a look at the most common species that I (here I go again) assume you have heard of. I could write for a year if we tried to discuss each one, but then again, there are very few differences that the average guy would really care about among many of these species. For clarity, it will help us to keep in mind that scientist categorize the living world first by family, then genus, by species, and so on.Ĭhar or Charr (genus: Salvelinus), are made up of over 60 species. The last post of this “trilogy” is about Char. I’ve previously written about Trout and True Trout. ![]()
