Golden trout
« on: April 16, 2017, 01:20:21 PM »
I've heard some rumors and stories about there being a few places in WA with Golden's....

Rumor or fact?

They are up there in a few places. The searching is most of the fun, since most aren't huge. Good luck!
There is not enough wilderness left in the world, or in the hearts of men.

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

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.
