Lake Trout
(Salvelinus namaycush)
(Cikignaq)
Lake trout are Alaska's largest freshwater fish
and they are also the largest of the group of fishes known as char.
They have a body shape common to that of trout and salmon. They have
small, light, irregularly shaped spots on a silver-to-dark gray
background, but color varies in different seasons and in different
lakes. The males and females are quite similar. Males have a slightly
longer, more pointed snout than the female.
Lake trout are found north of the Brooks Range but
are not found in lakes of the North Slope lowlands. To the west, they
are found in the Kobuk drainage, but not within 400 miles of the
Bering Strait. Lake trout are common in Bristol Bay lakes and in the
Pacific drainages just south of Cook Inlet.
Lake trout prefer large, deep, cold lakes in which
they spend their entire lives. As the water cools in fall the trout
feel the urge to spawn and the mature fish look for broken rock or
rubble areas typically found along the lakeshore. The spawning act
occurs when one or more males press themselves against a female. The
eggs and milt come out simultaneously. Most of the spawning occurs at
night.
In spring, when the lake is cold, Lake trout are
found near the surface. They feed more voraciously during the spring
and anglers catch more large specimens at that time than at any other
time. The world record catch for Lake trout is 50 inches and 102
pounds in Canada. In Alaskan waters, Lake trout weigh up to 54
pounds. They are caught with bright spinners, spoons, trolling lures,
jigging lures and even pieces of cut fish.
