orange trout?

plain WEIRD!   kinda like those *Lightning / *Thunder trout....

I was thinking the same thing.  They put those Thunder mutants in Shadow Cliffs.  The pictures I have seen of them look like orange footballs, with the tail fin rounded out.

I have had the experience of catching these at Shadow Cliffs under the name of ,"Thunder Trout" and they do fight very well however, their taste leaves alot to be desired. So I don't actively go after them anymore.They love the chrome Kastmater and  Wht/Blk Roostertails the best.

their taste leaves a lot to be desired.

Darn. I was hoping they had a pleasant built-in citrus-like flavor. 

BSteves/Fish Nerd: Are these just natural mutants that people have raised and encouraged?

It all sounds pretty fishy to me...

What Next Glow in the Dark trout.

Isn't that what Rancho Seco is all about????

I wonder if the normal trout "bust on em" for being different! Hahahah....

I guess genetic freaks are considered lucky or something.

Catch a hot steelie and they will seem like they GMO Mcfreaks they are.

I don't actively go after them anymore.

Glad to see you leaving the dark-side!!

Thats funny I spent A weekend in the hat creek burney area and saw the same thing.

Nice pics Fish Master1,

Same spot, same tank, same fish....they sure were crazy looking.

Fish on brother.

Orange trout, and now blue ones.  What, do they come in assorted flavors now? 

Yup, blueberry and orange creme flavored meat! Lol

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. I sure would love to catch one but that seems pretty unlikely. They would stick out like a soar thumb to predators in the wild.

-FF

I looked at them buggers and both my knees began jerking simultaneously.
That's a Non-Native-Species....by gawd....

I believe that.

Yes...That and your waders'ud begin to leak, 'n the next 7 fish you caught would break off; your boat would get stolen, your wife would leave you and your plastic worms'd melt all over your spoons, the warden would cite you for barbed hooks 'n it'd begin to snow.

Good start to a country song

Fun fish to look at even fun fish to catch however me thinks they are more decor for a pound than anything else. Besides the Catholic Pope just made genetic change a "Sin"  or was it research religion confuses the hell out of me. But like anyother opnion everyone has one and like butts they usually stink. Mine included.
Great conversation piece so my next catch of the thunder trout I'm building a pond for my catholic family to see the beauty of Genitic change or maybe that wouldn't be to koi.
