Some folks refer to these blue backed beauties from Bear Lake as "bluenose trout".

I've caught a few of those but I wonder why they all aren't that color? Do you think it might be the location where they spend their time, near the surface or near the bottom? WH2

WH2 - I don't know why some are and some aren't. I've read that the lime in the water has something to do with it.

Here's a closer look.

Regardless of how this fish gets its blue coloring, it si a really good looking fish, I would like one like that only a bit bigger mounted on my wall.

[]That is a beautiful fish, just need about a 10 pounder and he'd make a darn good decoration on my wall. Thanks for the picture RipNLips.[]

I jsut thought of something, isnt the planters painted with an ultra-violet light, one that glows onder black lights, but the fish remains natural looking?

I wonder if it would be adaptive for them to be that color if birds of prey were main predators. That is the same color I remember when first seeing Bear Lake as you come over the mountains! It's been a long time since I've seen that color.

Whatever the reason, they are cool lookin' fish!

That's it... I need to get over my fears and launch this weekend off cisco. That is a beautiful fish my friend.

Drop me a pm some time. I speak to your kin from time to time at Sweetwater. Maybe some time we could all hook up and do a fishing/barbeque get together.
