Lake trout is a popular sport fish native to Alaska, Canada, and parts of the northern United States, including the Great Lakes. It, however, is not native to Utah, but the species was introduced to some of Utah's large cold-water lakes, including Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Fish Lake, and Bear Lake, according to Utah DWR.
