NICE TROUT!! boy i wish i could have goldens in my pond. is see them in the river all the time its nice cause you allways know where they are at witch makes it easier to irritate em with a spinner.
Maybe I missed it elsewhere, but I'm curious why you can't have goldens in your pond. As far as I know, they are legal everywhere in PA, as long as they meet state disease test requirements.
The original gold mutant rainbow fish came from WV, but it was breeders in PA who propagated the goldens by breeding and interbreeding with regular rainbows to develop today's golden trout.
Generally, they are readily available in PA, WV, and VA.
If you have trouble finding goldens next season, send me a PM and I'll get you in touch with the agriculture/aquaculture in Harrisburg who can help you.
