StoneFly Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Got out for a few hours in the rain this afternoon...Landed 3 Rainbows in the 3lb range, lost a BIG brown.... Has anyone ever noticed this orange colour on the belly on some rainbow smolts, some have it some don't....anyone know why?
Greencoachdog Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Nice healthy and strong looking fish!!! I love it when the fish fill out like that and the head looks a little small for the body, it means they have more than enough to eat!!!... when the head looks too big for the body it's not good! I know squat about troot smolts! Thanks for taking the time to post though!
l2p Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 i always thought the ones with orange bellies aswell as fins were resies?!
silverstreak Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 Not exactly sure why some yearlings have the orange coloration......could be diet or simply genetics. I also see this on some of my summertime Brookies. Cheers

lucabrasi Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 Nice fish! Shakers are fun to catch, that's for sure. I guess I picked the wrong trib yesterday, it turned to mud about half hour after I got there. Thanks for the post!
