I fought the snow showers this afternoon on Loyalhanna Creek in Westmoreland County and was rewarded with two trout. The first an ordinary fall stocked rainbow, but the second was something different. He threw the hook and slipped away before I got a real good look, but it was a fish like I've never seen before. At first I thought it was a brown, then I thought it was a brookie, then a tiger. I've caught a few tigers before and I remember them all to be kind of green colored. This fish had more vibrant colors but seemed to have that distinctive wormy pattern on its back and sides. I'd call the color maybe burnt orange.
Maybe tiger trout color up for the fall? Anyone have any insight?
