splake
Crossbred coldwater fish
A splake is a hybrid fish produced by crossing a male brook trout with a female lake trout.
The name blends *speckled* (another name for brook trout) and *lake*.
Splake are stocked in cold-water lakes across North America because they grow faster than either parent species and are easier to raise in hatcheries.
