Palomino Trout
I put this on the main page - but thought I'd repost it here for my IL buds..
Okay - so I know it's not a crappie - but figured you guys would enjoy seeing this.
I went up to Beaver Dam State Park to kill a couple hours and see if I could remember how to catch trout.. Third fish of the morning was this cool looking Palomino. Some call them Goldens, but a true golden comes from select high mountain lakes in CA. (I know, cause a buddy use to hike out there every year to catch those little 8" monsters) haha
Anyway - I"ve never even SEEN one, let alone catch one - so it's getting mounted (probably a graphite replica)

Nice Pic!
I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.

Yeah cool. You could incorporate the photo into a display with your replica. Very unique.

That is a great tasting fish as well! I know they are in the lakes in Colorado and Wyoming as well.

In doing a bit of 'research' (talking to Mr. Google) - apparently there's a unique blue trout (rainbows and browns) but they never survive in the wild and in the hatchery only if they isolate them. Blues are definitely a weaker mutation. Looks like PA has been stocking these as a novelty for a long time (they release them when they're bigger) And there's some in the trout pool at ST Louis Cabelas (how did I not know that?)
I talked to a Fisheries Biologist here close to where I live and this is the first he's heard of someone catching one... Very cool indeed. Great idea putting the picture with the mount.
I doubt I'll ever see or catch one again. Prettyh wild.

I have caught a couple of those in ponds when the idnr turns them lose in April.
Lets go soak a line. Pat
