The bull trout, Salvelinus confluentus, is a char of the family Salmonidae native to northwestern North America. Bull trout have exacting habitat demands, requiring water temperatures generally below 55 °F (13 °C), clean gravel beds, deep pools, complex cover such as snags and cut banks, and large systems of interconnected waterways to accommodate spawning migrations. The current IGFA record is 32 lb (14.51 kg)
