>>1410520Ain't that some bullshit. Strange how out here in CO where most of the rainbows are stockers (whirling disease knocked most of the naturalized ones out not long ago), they just get fatter every year. Hell, I've never even seen a skinny rainbow. Wild browns, on the other hand, it seems like half of them are snakes when caught from lakes. Stockers might be less fit than wild fish, but they aren't retarded enough to starve when the pellets stop.
Pic unrelated, just a random wild rainbow from a creek that whirling disease never made it to. Easily the most unique looking rainbow I have caught.
