Thanks for the reply Leo, lots of these fish from this water are very pale, I've posted a prior to this one. The other pic I posted is from the same water, but you can notice more colors, especially the vertical bars. Take a look if you'd like, you'll see the difference.

Jason, Greg nailed it. The color is the reflection of primarily on the dietary, environmental, and the amount of light. For it to achieve that color, with a bit of turbid water in the background, I was wondering if the clay soil create a unique opportunity for the gill to blend in with its environment. Energy is involved in creating pigmentation along the body, so, I can understand the conversation of energy during winter. But this color, it's very very light in comparing to the gill we caught in the colder waters of the mountainous regions over here in the west.

Leo, these fish were all mostly pale from the cold temps. What colors make you inquire about clay?

Very unique color. Is the area full of clay over there?
