I can't find this online anywhere to paste a link but I recieved this in a Wyoming Game and Fish Newsletter afew years ago. Here is the highlights.
Flaming Gorge Lake Trout will mature between 6 and 7 years of age at a length of about 19-20 inches and weigh around 2 1/2 pounds. They will stay at this length and weight unless they switch over to a fish diet. Most Lake Trout in Flaming Gorge will successfully swapp over to a fish diet when they are 4-5 years of age 15-17 inches in length as will weigh around 2 pounds. After Lake Trout in Flaming Gorge has successfully swapped its diet over to fish the "Average" wieght gain is 1-2 pounds per year, with the available forage of Rainbow Trout, Kokanee, and Utah Chub.
