We have caught Whites off the Big Qualicum in late August, and have seen whites at the Alberni canal as well.
At one time, there was a marketing campaign for canned white Springs, where they guaranteed that the canned fish would not turn red. They sold a ton of canned white spring salmon that way.
But lets face it, whether it is a trout or a salmon, people like the look of red on the plate even if the taste is not much different.
As for the orange - red fleshed brook trout from Maligne, they just taste GOOD!!!
