    Default Anyone Tell Why This Brown Looks So Different?

    As I was managing some of my photos the other day I realized that there were some stark differences in coloration of fish from different waters, but then I saw something I have never seen in Brown Trout coloration, with the exception of a closely related Hybrid - the Tiger Trout.
    So, I have posted several pictures of varied colored Browns, with the odd one with the vermiculations not normally found on Brown Trout posted last.
    Comments?

    Lower Henry's Fork Brown:



    Snake River Spring Creek Brown:



    South Fork Snake Brown:



    The Odd Man Out Brown from a favorite spring creek (notice the vermiculation like on a tiger or brook trout - neither of which is in this drainage):



    Anyone have some ideas, or is it just due to diet and location?
