When it comes to bass, I have noticed that bass that come from down deep are not as colorful as bass that come from the shallows. I heard that it was due to the sunlight.
I have two photos, each a brown trout from the same river roughly from the same depth, from different days, but they look different in color. I did notice the water color is different, so I wonder if that has something to do with it?


Does water color or clarity have something to do with the color of trout? Or could it be the glare off the water? I have more photo’s of this with different fish, and the fish in the stained water is more brown than the one in the blueish clear water. And they were caught in different waters.
