"male rainbows are not real great table fare due to their white flesh" Now THIS I have never heard or experienced. Can someone confirm? How did I miss such a fact for my whole fishing career? Or, is that the rule only in Starvation?
My experience with the strain of rainbow stocked in Starvation is that during the winter the males take on an appearance significantly different from the females. They apparently believe they are nearing "spawning" time and they get very dark in color as compared to the females which retain their silver coloration. When you fillet one of the dark colored males you will find the flesh is white and has a different consistency of the red flesh of a typical female rainbow. They are several strains of rainbow trout in Utah. This situation I've observed at Starvation may not be the case for other waters in the state.
