Beautiful fish as always Cecil. Are the 2 brooks from different strains? The color looks different & one's tail is forked while the other isn't.
No Ric same strain. Lake Nipigon strain. However I'm not so sure it wasn't lighting that made the difference or how long they had been expired before I took the pic. One pic was taken in brighter light than the other. One thing that puzzles me is even with an excellent digital camera they never seem to capture the full intensity of the red/orange on the lower flanks.
I throw them in a cooler with a little bleach mixed into the water to kill them quickly so they won't thrash around and do damage to themselves. Sometimes they stay in there a little longer than I want when I am taking statistics of the previous fish.
