So you are telling me the bulls in the wigwam are different than Alberta bulls? My 20lb Alberta one looks the same as theres.

Bull Trout and Dolly Varden are 2 different species. They can not always be told apart by colour or any other character. Differentiating the 2 often requires molecular (DNA) or morphometric analysis.
This is part of why they are grouped together under the BC reg's.
Familiarity with your watershed is a good way to start knowing which you are catching.
People often use the 2 names interchangeably.
A 20lb bull in AB? Pics? Registered for the provincial record?
Which river are you fishing Slivers?
Use a spoon or spinner.
