The Trout of Topaz Lake

040509: I'd like to think that the salmon colored meat is exclusive to Topaz Lake, but it probably is not. I do know this: If you catch a fish that has white meat or slightly pink meat it is a recent plant or traveled to the lake via the Walker River. Either way, the trout from the lake are good eatin'!

Several years ago, a fisherman in the Park proudly showed off the huge fillets from the fish he had wrangled in that day. He really had all the other fishermen jealous until he told that he had wrangled the fish from Costco. And it was a salmon to boot! But that just goes to show you how our salmon pink Topaz trout can fool you!
