Unusual fish species?
#1
When fishing at Fish Lake last week I caught a trout that I couldn't figure out. It didn't look like any of the species I was aware of being present in the lake. Neither Ben nor I could figure out just what it was. Maybe a "rake" as opposed to a splake? It came closest to looking like a rainbow so I hesitantly entered it into the Challenge as such. Ron identified it as a faded-out tiger trout and I'm sure he is right. I went to the internet to see if I could figure out how tigers ended up in Fish Lake but so far have had no luck. Anyway in my searches I came across an article about fishing for pumpkinseed sunfish in Draper. Never knew we had any of those. Strange fish often pop up in places they aren't supposed to be. We have white crappie and Sacramento perch. Tench were recently caught in Idaho. They drained our local irrigation pond to rid it of invasive goldfish. The list goes on.

So what rare and/or unusual fish have you caught in Utah? Please stick to the realm of reality; we don't want any fish stories here. Far be it from me to engage in such frivolity. If that's what you are after, see my other post.

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
