Golden trout

[Night goat]

I've heard some rumors and stories about there being a few places in WA with Golden's....

Rumor or fact?

[ctwiggs1]

Fact!  Haven't gone after them but they're definitely here.

More than a few.  Sort by species here:

They are up there in a few places. The searching is most of the fun, since most aren't huge. Good luck!

Two lakes in Region 3 have them, Bauer Lake in the Bumping drainage, and Park Lakes in Kittitas-never been to Park Lakes.  Love to know how you do if go to them.  Beautiful fish.

Truth we (TrailBlazers) Stock several lakes a year with Goldens. You can look on the WDFW website to find out which lakes we stocked with them.

Totally a bucket list fish for me...

Caught marlin, massive ling's and butts, but... These still stand out as a trophy fish to me.

The goal is do get one on my grandfather's bamboo fly rod

Well they are out there and some of the lakes are relatively to get to

Geez no kidding.  I absolutely forgot one that I've been to-Warm Lake, and there's a bunch more in Kittitas.  As far as I know, the Twin Sisters experiment failed-been there numerous times but have never caught one.

I highly recommend a trip to Wyoming! I did a week long backpacking trip with my oldest brother, specifically for golden trout. We caught 50!! Wind river mountain range...one of the most beautiful places I have EVER been. Here's a couple pics. Unforgettable trip. Would love to catch some in Washington as well.

   Fishing Honey Hole!!  Didn't have my pole with me last year.  Don't have a tag this year.  Might just be a fishing trip.  And the beauty is a religious experience.
