We called them "Loch Levens"

Wikipedia gives me a lake:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loch_Leven

Were your "Loch Levens" native to the area or were they imported

"Early stocking efforts in the United States used fish taken from
Scotland and Germany. The Loch Leven strain is more often found in the
western United States, while the "German brown" is found more toward
the Midwest and East."
