hey can any one tell me why some bows are black and others aren't?????? Like the one below, I know it is mature enough to spawn, is it because it's a lep.? I was at a lake yesterday and some I caught were black, others were chrome...I am guessing they were juveniles? And some were normal color or more so then black........ what's the deal?

From what I can figure.... The males seem to be the darker ones. Females not so much. As for some being more "chromy", I think they are the immature fish that are not hormonally fully ready to go. (spawn) Even tho they may attempt to participate in the process.
Sorta "practicing" I guess. Any biologists here to help out with this explanation??

intresting..........males huh? I don't know but it was pretty differen't, I don't ever recall seeing fish in streams like that, so I thought it was just a lake thing....

Another thing to consider in lakes is if they are stocked; if its triploid fish they remain very chrome year round, as they do not produce eggs. Some stocked lakes have both the stocked fish and a wild population.
