Fishing, a trick to getting the right level items?

I posted this on a reply in the general section but I thought it might be better seen and answered in its own thread.

I'm sure NCSoft does not make 27 different kinds of fish for each fish type but I could be wrong. This means a big fat ugly blue fish caught by a skill level 12 fisherman will stack and skill level 23 fisherman (not tested). This means the prize on opening a fish will now depend on your fishing skill level (not tested). So does this mean if you catch a blue fat fish on your lowbie and need higher prizes you can just move it to the higher level toon for the fatter prize. Likewise when you need those lower levels gems then just move the fish to the lower level toon. This implies I should save my fish and move them to the appropriate level character depending on need. Well I thought I'd post this question here and maybe the community can test it.

the color fish you get depends on what fishing lvl you have aquired, there is a fishing guide in the guides section of the forum.

That may be true but I found that I was getting blue fish with a skill level 12 and also at about level 22. It was rare but the big question I have is does the type of reward depend on skill level and if so then we can just move the fish around for the reward type.

nope, reward is fish based, not skill based. fish color is based off of your current skill level. there about 8-12 colors of fish, and 27 different varieties of fish per color. you generally can catch 2 different colors of fish at a certain skill level.
