I fished near Otter Lake Quebec back in 1976, open water near the end of Black fly season. The fish we caught were identical to brook trout, but were called red trout up there. When opened up, they were fire engine red, best tasting trout I've ever eaten, along with ADK pond brookies. But they were also larger, all 14-22", except one 10 incher that was bleeding badly. Walking in, we split the gear. Walking out, one guy carried all the gear, the other guy carried the fish wrapped in a damp towel, and the guy with the gear had the easier trek.
