I have always been under the impression that bull trout, for the most part were not anadromous. After reading bout them a lil bit I'm very confused the only difference tween bull trout and dolly varden:

"Compared to Dolly Varden, bull trout are larger on average, with a relatively longer and broader head.

During a cursory search of the net I could find no guestimates of what percentage of fish in Puget Sound are dollies and what percentage are bull trout.

I have lived most of my life in the Puget Sound area and have always been under the impression that most were Dolly Varden, w/bull trout being associated more w/inland waters (Easter Wa, Montana etc.).

Anyone have more up-to-date info?

One source did say that bull trout prefer streams (as opposed to rivers) and ones that are cold with very little sediment. Which, correct me if I am wrong would seem to rule out many Puget Sound rivers, including the Skagit/Sauk.

Sincerely,
Roger
