Mountain whitefish are not uncommon in the Blacks Fork river, it is one of the only north slope waters that have a population of them that I know of and have caught them on. Anyway, I have caught them on many occasions there. They tend to live in the same habitats as trout and they like fast moving water. The dorsal fin is usually just a shaded color, but there could easily be that genetic variation of spots on the individual level - However, it's not something I have noticed with those I have caught up there..
