Big Ugly,

I unfortunately have no information about the brookies, though I've heard things about there being a lake or two with them on the northern part of the Q.

I was drawn to your post however by the mention of splake. I too have caught red finned lakers and wondered if they were in any way different from the other LT. Also, some of the above LT/red finners had NEON pinkish/red (fuschia would be an accurate description). Is there any difference in taxonomy with these?
