[cool][#0000ff]Yeah, we call them "Starvation steelheads". They hit hard, fight hard and have beautiful pink flesh. Great eating. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]They have really changed the overall fishing experience on Starvation. Before DWR started dumping them in a couple of years ago most anglers worked hard to find a few perch and maybe an occasional walleye or smallie. Of course there have always been browns in Starvy, but they have been rare and seldom caught except right after iceout and again in late fall...cold water months. I caught rainbows on almost every trip I made there during the last year. And there are an increasing number of anglers who fish the lake solely for the trout. When you see the leftover gobs of "power putty" around the ice holes you would think you were on East Canyon or Rockport.[/#0000ff]
