Dolly Varden
The Dolly Varden trout is a species of salmonoid fish native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean, in Asia and North America. It belongs to the genus Salvelinus, or true chars, which includes 51 recognized species, the most prominent being the brook, lake and Bull Trout, as well as Arctic Char. In North America, two subspecies of Dolly Varden are distinguished, the Northern Dolly Varden (S. m. malma) of the Arctic drainages and the Southern Dolly Varden (S. m. lordi) of the Pacific drainages.
The back and sides are olive green or muddy gray, shading to white on the belly. The body has scattered pale yellow or pinkish-yellow spots. They are found in coastal waters of the North Pacific from Puget Sound north along the British Columbia Coast to the Alaska Peninsula and into the eastern Aleutian Islands along the Bering Sea and the Arctic Sea to the Mackenzie River. The Dolly Varden is considered and regulated as a game fish in the U.S. and Canada.

Welcome to the Fishy series! A series of caches made as a geoart for HAG XIX. Since this years theme is water, the series has been placed along a water related trail. Some spots along the trail have significant erosin and cliffs. Please use caution. The trail does get quite wet (and floods,) but has some great views and provides a great walk or hike. If you have solved Fishy #1, you will know where abouts to park for the rest of the series. Please close all containers properly and hide back as found. Hope everybody enjoys the series and the trail as much as I did!
