Black Fish

[Deano]

well i have had a new all in one printer/scanner/copier so i thought i'd put it to good use and scanned a few pics in.Whilst doing it I came across this 'black mirror'.Its the darkest fish I have ever seen and it came from a gin clear water.Just thought I'd see what other people have caught in the way of very dark fish....just an excuse to show a piccy off really....

Was it a silty water?

i had a mid double common that was just as dark as that from a small silty water called Reddish vale nr stockport. sorry no pics but it was darkest fish i'd ever seen till Deano posted that one

Lovely colour on that - think I've seen some pictures of some pretty dark swampies!

These are the darkest fish I've caught though..

Took the words out of my mouth Nige,the swamp fish were the darkest I've seen till Deano posted his stunner.Dont know where my pics are,will have to send someone up to the loft to look.....too many spiders up there for my liking

it is a very weedy lake with gin clear water.There is some silt pockets but also sand and gravel in different areas.I put the darkness of the fish down to the clear water,they darken up the more sunlight they get...sunburnt..lol...mind you not all of em in there are quite that dark...nicely coloured fish though....they always look nicer if the waters clear I think..
