paperbelly

[English] plural paperbellies

A name in Lake Superior for the lake trout. A freshwater char living mainly in lakes in northern North America. As in Europe, this char is not a common fish. Lake trout were fished commercially in the Great Lakes until lampreys, overharvest and pollution severely reduced the stocks. Commercial fisheries still exist in some areas of the Great Lakes and smaller lakes in northern Canada.
