does anyone here actively fish for Dollies?
If you do...what's your biggest catch?

My personal record is 11.5 pounds from shore.

second largest was 7 pounds.

I never keep em so ive nevver put one on the scale but id say my biggest was about 6 or 7 pounds. Ive caught lots in the 5 pound range.

you should keep them!
they're great eating!

Isn't the "Dolly" sort of a protected fish. You can't keep them in too many rivers.

Does the name "bull trout" ring any bells???

Bull Trout and Dollys are now considered 2 different fish. Check with the fish and game dept ,

Have taken some nice dollies, largest about 5 pounds in the Cascade River. We have some healthy runs of them here. In AK we used to catch them a fish a cast on small streams, they were mainly runts but a bud of mine got one that was around 3 lbs. Never cared for eatin them. Last year a buddy of mine cnr a 3-4 pound bull trout out of Bumping lake while fishin for 6" Kokes, pretty fun. C
