[cool][#0000ff]I doubt that the white fleshed rainbows were "hybrids". I suspect that they were either recent "planters" or that they had a different diet. The fish with the red flesh have been in the lake long enough to develop a "natural" diet...rich in insects and other invertebrates. Most insects and freshwater shrimp (and crawdads) are rich in vitamin A. That is what produces the pink flesh. Fish fresh from the hatchery are usually very pale.[/#0000ff]
