yes'm. ice on the shady side is a steady 4"  ten feet from shore first hole first drop landed me a firm 3 llbs bass. i went to just check the ice conditions but brought the auger, an ultralight, and a few small jigheads. i had some frozen ground cucumbers i found at an asian supermarket this past summer and that's what i hooked onto the jighead. anyways... the ice is good and will only get better i will be there tomorrow, monday, maybe tuesday, thursday, and next weekend for sure. |

| The color is from high levels of astaxanthin in the fish's diet. Brown trout were introduced here from Europe a loooong time ago so they're not technically native. How long they have been in this particular body of water is anyone's guess, but these silver/gold w black spots trout have their own thing going on that's for sure. |

I guess you would call it a wild trout then. I know about the Europe introduction.
I've caught browns and brookies that have red meat from certain rivers that hold wild trout. Other rivers I've caught browns and brookies at haven't shown much in red meat. |
