Re: Assunpink Creek x 2
[QUOTE=Drossi;507342]Even the flesh from a stocker will turn pink if they are in the stream long enough, especially if the predominate forage is fresh water shrimp (scuds).
Most private hatcheries feed the trout a shrimp based food a few months before trout season. Turns the flesh pink like it was a wild salmon caught in Alaska. I worked many years delivering/stocking trout at private clubs and would always have people so excited to tell me about wild trout there catching with pink flesh. It would brake there heart when I told them the truth. Eventually i would just say congratulations cause i would feel terrible when i saw disappointment of anglers when i told them the truth.
