On the colour of the fish. I thought the feed quality and temperature of the water had the most to do with weather the fish were darker or lighter in colour.

Our camp is on a lake that is tea stained with a bunch of wood in the water. I have caught bass in the shallows just about black but when we fish the rock shoal off 40 feet of water the bass come up just about tan in colour.

Cheers Don.
