There are different factors that contribute to the coloring of the brown trout. Some of them is diet, water temp and purity of the strain or species.
Some states genetically alter some of the species of trout which produce different color variations as well as new hybrid species. The one that you are referring to may very well be a hybrid.
In Utah they do have brown/bows, cut/bows and a few others. Back when I lived in Utah they didn't play around with the fish like that. Now the DNR, DOW, DFG as well as other Fish, Game and Wildlife directors of many states are produceing these hybrids to supplement the natural sportingness of fishing for many states.
They have a few species of hybrids now in California where I currently reside. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.[url "javascript: addTag('cool')"][cool][/url]
