[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]It's all environment. Stained water can definitely influence a fish's coloration. Bear Lake fish are very light in color because of it's very clear, unstained water. Even the macks are that way. Gorge macks are very dark and have pronounced colors whereas Bear Lake fish have more subtle, "washed out" tones. The molting on a BL lake trout is almost turquoise in color. They are pretty cool.[/size][/black][/font]
