Would be cool if they would live and grow to full size in a pond like Bear Lake, but that's a wild dream... I caught a really nice cutthroat at Bear Lake a few years back through the ice and as I watching it through the hole I thought it looked like a King salmon with the water magnification it looked huge... It was still a good fish 27", but it wasn't near as big as I thought it was... Later Jeff
Chinook, coho, and pink salmon thrive in the fresh water Great Lakes and tributaries.
