Griz.... Yeah..I googled up bull trout and dolly varden and learned a lot...I WAS pretty sure they were all char, but did not know that dollies, bulls and arctic char were 3 distinct char species...

There's good reason for the confusion, because according to the information I read, dolly varden are still called bull trout in some parts of Canada, and until the fairly recentpast bull trout and dollies were considered the same species...

Bull trout, it seems are a threatened species in most of thier former range, while dolly vardens are thriving in much of thier range, including Alaska, where I caught them...
