The lake trout is a member of the char family and is also called grey trout, Great Lakes char, forktail trout, mountain trout, namaycush, mackinaw trout, salmon trout, togue, laker and touladi. The official scientific name is Salvelinus namaycush. Other species  include several species of whitefish (including the majestic Inconnu) and northern pike are abundant in the waters around Tincup.
