Tinman, those goldens are cool. When I was a young boy fishing with my dad in the Sierras he caught one, it was maybe 10" long. We were fishing a little lake above tree line.
The only one I have ever seen. Beautiful fish


From what I have read, in the Sierras where they're native that is a respectable sized fish.

I dunno.....


It was a respectable size fish when I used to haunt them Sierras in the 70's. Caught a few, but seemed like many times we got hybrids with rainbows. We didn't care, they were for eating on layover days so we could get a meal that wasn't 100% dehydrated! 9 day treks with Explorer scouts were cool for teenagers from SoCal.

Here's a passel of them being fried up. I sure miss those days.

Our advisor did not believe in staying on the John Muir trail, so we usually had a 3-4 day adventure overland.

In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
