This is definitely true. Stocker trout have white meat due to their fish farm diet. The pinkies have been in the wild eating all sorts of goodies that make them taste better (and turn pink). I've always referred to the pinkies as "native". Often times native trout will have brighter external coloring as well, so you know you've got a tasty one as soon as you pull it in. I used to ice fish in Colorado, and caught some trout that had meat that looked and tasted just like salmon.
