Monster Rainbow Trout

I Went back to the local pond looking for more palomino trout. I found one on my first cast while still trying to set up my drop shot rig. That was grand enough, but the final trout I hooked into was the largest I've caught this year. It was both gorgeous and massive. While I love catching these rare palominos, a monster rainbow with a lot of fight is just as wonderful for me to hook into. What a grand day.

Finally Catching a Rare Species, Part 2

A local pond was recently stocked with a rare trout species called palomino trout. Palominos are also called "lightning trout" and "bananas." Sometimes, they are called "golden trout," but I think that is confusing because they differ from the original. Palomino trout are a hybrid cross between golden and rainbow trout. Their coloring is mainly yellow and orange, with red cheeks and stripes along their body appearing during spawning season. Unlike another hybrid, the tiger trout, the palomino trout, can reproduce. However, no real data has been collected concerning the viability of these hatchlings in the wild.
