Sunlight? Could be, I guess. Stupid fish don't know that tanning is bad for you now... ;^>

The gills in my neighborhood pond are pretty ghostly right now (see my latest blog entry) and if you look on my photos at my kids with a couple from the same pond in warm weather they are very dark. I think it is what they have been eating in the recent past.

nice Jeff... i used to think the lightened color was due to the ice... in your case cold water.... im catching silvery pearl colored gills under the ice ... but look at clayton catching those dark monsters... many more environmental factors are probably the most significant factors. possibly genetics also.

6 like that in an afternoon is not awful in my book. Especially with the bream and kitties thrown in.
