 lar experience with California trout, and I attribute the varia- 

 tion in color to the feeding in ponds. The river-fed iish will 

 vary very much in color. We have green, Ijlack and light \aria- 

 tion of half a dozen colors, but has anybody ever noticed tliis 

 amonu" the trout \\'here thev receive their natural food.
