I have never opened the belly on a spray laker but after reading that I will have to next time to see what it’s eating because now I am curious
Wonder if it would be worth stocking another prey species besides Cisco in hopes of improving the Lakers

When I first saw the OP picture I thought "Crowsnest Lake". There is similar biology in the two lakes (Crowsnest/Spray Reservoir). The UA study on Crowsnest indicates that fish grow slow in the first 5 years and then take off...I have yet to see with my own eyes a lake trout bigger than 15 inches out of Crowsnest…
Introduced species do not always take well...

The 1986 test netting indicated that lake trout in Crowsnest Lake grow very slowly to age five, then rapidly after age five. This is likely due to a shift in prey from midge larvae to mountain whitefish.
