VISITING OLD WATERS

[richyd4u]

Nice report and pics, sounds like a nice day on the lake. Both the fish in your pics are very light colored, do you think that is a result of the lake being shallow or some other factor with the water in the lake? I know Bear lake is a deep lake but the fish there tend to be lighter colored.

Yeah, they have been very pale in color since the treated it and restarted 2 years ago. The water is very clear, and the fish we are catching are shallow...so you'd think they'd be darker. The tigers are still juveniles in there, so I imagine the males will darken as they continue to mature. Caught some brookies this last weekend there, and they were very pale as well. I'll tell ya though...the bows in there are some of the hardest fighting I've experienced. They are doing very, very well. Still haven't see any cutts yet, not sure where they are hanging out since they usually are shallow predators and that's where we were fishing...bizarre.

A few more from this weekend...notice how light the colors are on the brookie too.
