  • Trout, Rainbow
Size: 
20 inches

I understand this isn’t exactly a “rough” fish, but I figured it was a notable catch since it is my PB Rainbow and first ever Golden Rainbow Trout, or, Palomino. It was 20 inches exactly and it took a small white grub I had found in the bank I was sitting on. It was caught in PA on a small tributary to the Susquehanna River.

That is one gorgeus fish

It's even cooler that you caught it on a scrounged bait. There's nothing better than finding your bait on the stream.

That's a cool fish! Almost hurts my eyes! It's gotta be a strange sight, watching that critter swim around...

Fishn sure is neat

PA stocks some Golden Bows, esp. in populated, high-traffic areas where I fish a great deal & see 'em all the time (they're kinda' hard to miss)...  and I've NEVER caught one!!!  I mean, I'm not a bad angler -- I've caught a few of the regular 20-24" "trophy-size" stockies (actually, every one I ever hooked) & plenty Bows & Browns in the high teens, but nary a Golden -- in any size sad angryfrown

P.E.T.A. sucks!!!  Plants are living things, too -- they're just easier to catch!

The elusive Golden Rainbow Trout the history of this fish is awesome on how it came to be like "Romo" said, they're pretty hard to catch too
