That fish is very friendly ...it's saying to Rod ...I love you...please release me.
Rod I hope ya put this fish back into the waters of life.

He did.  No problem keeping a fish like this if he wanted too though as it's one of hundred(s) of lakes stocked with all female triploids and within the regs.

Not sure why I kept putting them back this past week. I should have brought one home to see how it tastes. This week.

Beautiful fish.
Who knows maybe I will catch it and eat it too!
( thought this size was not too common ...fishing pressure is high on most lakes within a short drive of Vancouver. )

A 16" Fraser Valley rainbow trout. The two dark clumps are thousands of chironomids it had ingested that day.

Carpenter ant falls can cause trout to gorge to the point they look like they could pop!

Do they ever stop eating? Damn

The fish looks a bit like the Fraser Valley strain, but you rarely see them with meat that red...….

All strains of trout including FV's get orange/red meat when they eat freshwater shrimp.

and yet clearly the one in the picture was not eating freshwater shrimp

The colour of the meat doesn't change just because a trout is gorging on Chroni's for God's sake  .

Freshwater shrimp is the mainstay of a trout's diet throughout the year as are Chironomids/Bloodworms. Yes, certain times of the year they feed heavily on what's available at the time but scuds are on the menu year round, hence the colour of flesh will be orange/red.

But you're still WRONG!

Here is another Fraser Valley, a little bigger.
