Just an FYI--Dollies are not Bull Trout. Two different species. Bull trout are "endangered" in the US.

[left]Bull trout and Dolly Varden look very
[left]similar, and were once considered the
[left]same species. Both have small, pale
[left]yellow to crimson spots on a darker
[left]background, which ranges from olive
[left]green to brown above, fading to white
[left]on the belly. Spawning adults develop
[left]varying amounts of red on the belly.
[left]Both species also exhibit differences in
[left]size, body characteristics, coloration,
[left]and life history behavior across their
[left]range.
[left]Taxonomic work, published in 1978 and
[left]accepted by the American Fisheries
[left]Society in 1980, identified bull trout as
[left]distinct from the Dolly Varden. Compared
[left]to Dolly Varden, bull trout are
[left]larger on average, with a relatively
[left]longer and broader head. Bull trout are
[left]mainly an inland species, while
[left]Dolly Varden are more common in
[left]coastal areas. In Washington, both
[left]species are present in the Puget Sound
area.
