Question on the char... Do they live on to spawn in the lake? Or is that like there final resting ground after they been milked dry by fish n game? Caught a couple yesterday and they just kinna float to the hole... wasn't very lively.

They are not going to spawn, fish and game puts them in so you can take them out.  Makes for a good kids day out for sure.

probably  because they have been eating fish pellets for most of their lives.

I see.... well I put the two I got back, for the kids to catch later. Or for snacks for that giant lake trout in there.

I can't imagine those things would taste very good.  I've caught some out of there that looked worse than spawned out salmon.
