Thanks! And yes they're the same. Lake Char, Lake Trout, Gray Trout, Togue, Mackinaw are all common names for them. Same family as Trout (Salmonidae) but in the Char genus (Salvelinus). Species is S. namaycush.

Yessir. Erie's Lakers are all stocked fish. Feds stock them as fingerlings in an attempt to restore them as a native species but so far they haven't detected any natural reproduction since the early 1900's.
Took my son out and caught a few smallies, gills and channels. We were fishing below the dam in front of the spillway over 1.5' of water. Using crawlers on drop shot.
Thanks! Can't say the exact spot, but it's in the French Creek watershed.
That French creek is really something!! I read somewhere that 62% of the species of fish in PA are found in the french creek watershed. That's pretty amazing!
Yessir, 80 some species of fish in French Creek alone. This spot has Bowfin, Pike, Grass Pickerel, Bullheads, LMBs, Lepomids, and Central Mudminnows primarily, and it's not even on the main river.
