Lake Trout
Lake
trout were first stocked in 1986 in hopes they would provide trophy trout
fishing opportunities in
deep, cold, well-oxygenated lakes like Bull Shoals and Greers Ferry.
Twenty-five pounders are common
in their native northern habitats, but their growth potential in Arkansas is unknown. The
head, fins and
dark body are completely covered with irregular white spotting. The tail is
deeply forked unlike other
Arkansas
trout.
