Many
anglers
have
a
difficult
time
distinguishing
the
different
trout
species. |
 |
|
Fish
species
which
can
appear
similar
include
the lake
trout
and
brook
trout.
The bull
trout,
lake
trout
and
brook
trout
are all
chars:
members
of the
trout
family
which
generally
have
light
spots on
a dark
background.
The bull
trout
lacks
black
spots on
the
dorsal
fin; the
brook
trout
has
these
spots.
That’s
the best
way to
tell
these
two
species
apart.
The lake
trout
has a
deeply
forked
tail.
This
separates
the lake
trout
from the
other
species.
|
|
Another
fish,
the
brown
trout,
can also
be
confused
with the
bull
trout.
However,
the
brown
trout
has dark
spots on
a
lighter
background.
|
|
Because
these
species
are the
most
easily
mistaken
for bull
trout
and vice
versa,
this
site
will
focus on
training
you to
become
an
expert
at
distinguishing
them
from
each
other.

Here’s
an
overall
look at
these
four
fish
species.
Study
the
diagrams
closely.
Notice
how the
spotting,
dorsal
fin, and
shape of
the tail
fin are
used to
tell
them
apart.
