      @Mizmazzle yeah Golden trout are used as markers to show where the rainbows are. They look like this:

        @Oaktavia Oh! I see..not the actual fish? I was wondering because by my knowledge they don't exist out east...

        Here’s one I caught up in Wyoming last summer.

          WV introduced them in 1963: https://www.wvencyclopedia.org/articles/2273#:~:text=The West Virginia Centennial Golden,then bred for the characteristic.

          I saw a few growing up in nearby streams.

            @Mizmazzle oh no they are real fish in the water. They are bred out in the Midwest my Unc said and stocked into streams from the hatcheries in MD. They are added to help folks identify where the regular rainbow trout are in the streams. So if you see a golden one from above, there will likely be rainbow trout nearby that pool or wherever. Here are some quick Google Images:

              Interesting! I know they originated in the Sierras of Northern, California. Then Finis Mitchell brought a brood to the Wind River Range of Wyoming and stocked the many high alpine fisheries that exist today....

                  My homie Matt and I just got back from our annual trip to Wyoming to fish for Golden trout. We backpacked in and hiked 30 miles from start to finish. We were in the backcountry for five nights and didn’t see another human soul for days!! Absolutely magical. It was the type of experience that carries me through the challenging parts of work life during the school year. Check it out!!

                  Last year I caught the biggest fish. This year that honor went to Matt.

                      That‘s so awesome @Mizmazzle Did you have to take precautions against bears? Did you eat the trouts?

                        @Mizmazzle that looks stunning! Also good to be reminded of the proper name for the golden trout. Somehow your quest for this fish came up in conversation a while back and the best I could do was fish that live at the top of mountains / sky trout 😃

                            I was fishing perch and northern pike earlier this week. Good times. Maybe trying grayling tomorrow.

                                @endo Yes the Wind River Mountain Range is both Grizzly and black bear habitat. We carried both bear spray and a pistol as a precaution. We are meticulous with keeping a clean camp and hanging our food bag far from where our tents are placed.

                                Primarily we are catch and release fisherman. Every now and then we like to take a non-trophy fish to eat if there is a large population in a body of water.

                                Neither of us had ever eaten a Golden Trout before so this time we did eat one. It was fantastic!

                                  @ARNC “Sky Trout!” I love it!! Haha. We were fishing at over 11,000 feet at one of the lakes so Sky Trout is certainly an applicable name!! I think I’m going to borrow your nickname moving forward haha.
