I went out fishing last weekend in the mountains of western North Carolina, and one of the Rainbows I caught had a red belly. Its not urgent that I know why. I released everything I caught. I was just curious if there was any particular reason for it.

do you want to know why the fish is more red than others you have seen?... that would be speculation on anyone's part and they have speculated for you... maybe wild fish are just more colorful... maybe it is a hybrid... maybe other fish you have seen were dull hatchery raised fish...Has anyone answered my original question yet? I can't tell for sure.

Fin margins are white. I honestly wonder after seeing this a couple times now in NC hatchery bred fish, if there is not some degree of accidental hybridization going on in their hatcheries. Brook bows?
And to quote Bruce , rainbows in Atlantic drainage Feh. Don't belong there anyway.
