Splake situations. Hence, splake are well suited for stocking in a variety of coldwater lakes and ponds. The maximum size is about 9 kg (20 lb), but fish over 4 kg (9 lb) are rare and are considered trophies. An example would be in Ontario, where both F1 splake and the lake trout backcross have been planted for several years. The backcross is the result of an F1 splake male being crossed with a female lake trout ("i.e.", 75% lake trout and 25% brook trout). Although splake were first described in 1880, Ontario began experimenting with the hybrids in the 1960s
