Rainbow trout are generally the most commonly stocked trout for ponds. They have an golden morph which most of us who grew up fishing for trout in PA know them as palomino trout. So you can stick with just rainbows but have "two" types of trout in your pond for variety. Tiger trout can be tough to source but are an aggressive fast growing option that I think are very pretty.


Ditto, although you do know the Palimino and West Virginia Golden Rainbow are two different things right?

Browns get a bad rap for being hard to catch but their aggressiveness can work against them.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
