Here's a male.

I know you have native char in Sweden along with some imported Brook trout. I hope they keep these two species separated because they will cross breed.

Yes, this has been identified as an issue. I think we have the "fontinalis" too, but it's the "namaycush" that's the imported one. They do try to keep them separate. Most of the indigenous brookies we have are in remote lakes up north, above the tree line (although there are several rivers up there that have them too), and they do try nowadays to make sure they don't breed.

OK, S. fontinalis are not native to Norway(but have been introduced there), but arctic char are!!! That pic you posted to answer my post was and Arctic Char, S. alpinus (I think), or the European version of it. On our west coast we have Dolly Varden trout (S. malma) and Bull trout, S confluentus, which is also just another version of the arctic char. S. namaycush (Lake trout) is also native to North America, but has been introduced through out the northern hemisphere. Now a male brook trout can crossbreed with a female Lake trout to produce viable youg and what we call a Splake. "Sp" as in speckled trout (the Canadian name for brook trout) and the "lake" for lake trout. In fact splake as a "breed" were developed in Canada and have been widely introduced through out Michigan (where I live). They are delicious!!!

Two weeks of fishing from the beach and a public pier. The fish were not worthy of a post, but I wish I had a shot of the manatee that swam under my lines at the dock.
