Seen while snorkeling in Kane Creek. It was a healthy looking 14in Mountain Whitefish. Significantly larger than any of the brookies or cutthroat. It’s head/mouth stood out to me as being slightly different than other MWF I’ve seen. Very cool to hear these are unique to the area. I wish I would’ve taken video simply for observational purposes.
