Lake
Trout are 15-20 inches long, weighing an average of 10 pounds but they have been
known to exceed 100 pounds. The body, colored light green or grey, dark green,
brown or almost black with lighter colored spots is typically troutlike, elongate.
The grey lake trout is highly prized both as a gamefish and
as a commercial species. Anglers catch this species by fly or spin fishing early
in the spring. The flesh may be white, pink, orange or orange-red, the color being
influenced by the diet. It has an excellent flavor and is mostly eaten fresh but
it is sometimes smoked.
One of the most important commercial
freshwater fishes and a popular sport-fishing species
in North America, the lake trout is actually a char,
not a true trout. It has now been successfully introduced
into lakes out of its natural range. A beautiful fish,
it has characteristic pale spots on head, back and
sides. Lake trout feed on fish, insects, crustaceans
and plankton.
