LAKE TROUT. 
“The trout is found in the Great Lakes and in the smaller lakes 
of the Northern States. In different localities the individuals vary 
greatly in color, size and shape, and are known by the local names 
‘salmon trout,’ ‘namaycush,’ ‘togue,’ “tuladi,’ ‘Mackinaw trout,’ ‘lake 
salmon,’ ‘black trout,’ ‘reef trout,’ ‘longe,’ etc. The ‘siscowet’ is 
another variety of this species.” | 
On January 15, 1918, 666,706 pounds of the lake trout still remained 
in cold storage from the catch of the previous season. The stocks 
declined until April 15, when less than 200,000 pounds remained. The 
holdings then increased monthly, except for a slight decrease between 
August 15 and September 15, until November 15, whenreports showed 
1,660,112 pounds. This was 28.3 per cent more than was stored on 
the same date in 1917.
