So a Lake Trout is a Char?

[Keta]

Yup, related to brook trout, bull trout and dolly varden.  Bull trout are in the lake but are protected.

Look for a white margin on the pectoral, pelvic and anal fins, on a trout/salmon lookin' fish. All the species(char, genus "Salvalinius")I know about got  spots similar to Keta's Lakers. Perhaps not so much on the Bull and Brook trout. Great eaten' cold water fish. Some species like the Dolly Varden can be sea-run(anadroumus).
