Orange body with blue highlights, red eye, blue lips -- what a beautiful fish!

Taken near last dam on Lake Creek. In the second photo you can see cleared circles where these fish were defending their nests.

this fish was bigger than any of the other ones swimming near the park bridge; it seemed like it stopped to watch me. I think both pictures are of the same fish.

There's a Red-tailed Hawk on the cell phone tower in the background.
