Guest Sundancefisher Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 http://www.rainbowrun.net/troutinfo.htm Very interesting. Never heard of this before. A Blue Trout. Seems like a rare genetic variation of a rainbow trout. Anyone ever see one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havnt , I do know that private stillwater fisheries in the UK have been stocking them for a few years where they have gained quite a reputation for their fighting qualities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBBrownie Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 relic of aquaculture - frankenfish... Akin to hatchery mutants missing maxilla, albinos, etc. To my knowledge, are not known to occur in a natural environment. Poor incubation conditions? Inferior breeding? Inbreeding? Too warm/cold/low oxygen? I am curious what relic of aquacultural conditions would lead to this expression... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 never heard of it ive seen pics of golden rainbows and the albinos before.. i think they get picked off pretty quick as younguns if they do happen in teh wild... just a pigment mess up is my guess... would be cool! ive seen some bows that definetly have a blue ish hue too them but never a blue one!

trailhead Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 There is a method of cooking that results in a dish called "Blue Trout" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 pfff, my parents are genetic biologist i could probably get you some purple glow in the dark trout if the government would fund it lol. my guess is its a genetic slip like miss matched eye color.

CTownTBoyz Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Did any of you guys read the Sundanceff link? You're all posing answers and theories to what is explained. Here, I'll post it again.... http://www.rainbowrun.net/troutinfo.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timo Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Blue trout , Pink elephants, Aliens , Samsquatch... I've seen them all, but then again I drink. Interesting thanks for the linky Sundancefisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironfly Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The AFGA puts in a little trout pond at the Edmonton Boat and Sportsman Show. Last year they had a blue trout in with the regular rainbows. Beautiful fish, lousy camouflage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherman96 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 never heard of blue trout but sounds to me there a bit like silver pike just kind of a colour mutation thats my guess or maybe some sort of thing that it inherits certain traits from it's parents.

That would be very odd. As for the blue trout...sounds like it happens...ergo...maybe we have caught a genetic freak ourselves...and not realized they actually breed the freaks for fishing... Interesting. I do know I have seen some cool spots on trout...but color variation aside from spotted versus silver...not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
