WoollyBuggered Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 its a dolly guys i put the post in wrong No, you were correct in calling it a bull trout. The Omineca region only has one waterbody with dollies in it. At least the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Bulls are frequently referred to as dollies because in the past the 2 species were both considered to be one species called dolly varden. Since that time morphology and genetics have shown them to be seperate species, the bull trout and the dolly varden. Nice bull. I hope you catch it again. Quote
Tako Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 There are supposedly both in the Omineca. Only way to tell the true difference is by counting branchiostegal rays. Bulls have 19-24 and Dolly Varden 24-27. Nice fish, looks like the Holmes? Quote
