No brookies in there but splake are stocked that is confirmed and as for the lakers there where some in there so one could very well be a laker! Lakers where original to the lake but from what my buddy said from there they are few and very far between!!

Awesome fishing Marty!! That's a great day.

As for people thinking these are lake trout, please read up on F1 splake back-crossed with lake trout in Ontario.
Result are 75% laker, 25% brookie, but still splake. And they look exactly like Marty's fine Splake samples on display.

Almost certain "back-crossed" splake were only stocked in Georgian Bay / Lake Huron and the last stocking
took place in 1995. It was a pretty controversial program and ended with a pure lake trout agenda.

Wow great fish Lvace, congrats!

As for the splake or lake trout debate, here's my 2 cents: Let's just say that these 2 fish are in fact a cross which is 75% laker and 25% brookie... I can't see 25% brook trout in these fish, I don't see any brook trout characteristics at all... I can only see 100% lake trout here. If these fish are really splake then I don't know what lakers look like anymore. :confusion-confused:

Anymore pictures of the stockers? They all look like lake trout to me.

Nice fish regardless!
