We caught some rainbows in colorado I'm pretty sure they where wild there meat was pink insted of white like most rainbows I've heard it's because of freshwater shrimp but does any body know if it's true or why it might happen

      I know brook trout have orange meat if they're native to the stream, and white meat if they're planted so maybe rainbows are the same

      Thank you all @Cowboy713 @topwater98 @wyldechylde77 I would have to agree with the tasting part

      Wild Trout normally have red/pink meat, hatchery fish usually have white. Most of it has to do with diet, which is also why a pink/red fleshed trout tastes better.

      They not be native but if they were born in the river like most brown trout I've heard they have different meat @topwater98

      I've also heard it about it being from spawning I know the browns are usually pink colored but idk rainbows could be @Cowboy713

      Cutthroat trout as the only native/wild trout species in Colorado I do believe
