Hi JR:
I am referring to the chironomid larvae at the bottom of the lake in their little muck tubes. There might be a few caddis flies and dragon flies that the cutts also chomp down.
When it comes to hard core food that these fish eat to grow bigger, it is those chironomids that live in a rather anoxic environment just above the bottom that these cold blooded fish live on.
You see the best larval colours in the stomach samples. White is also a great colour. That is why maggot fisherman catch so many.
Given the area that these fish were caught in, I am enquiring about the colour because the Job Lake population has preference for green chironomids. Genetically, Speckle's fish should have come from that small population. Therefore my question to Speckle.
