golden.....must be the boyscout luck...sweeeeeeet
fish on
Ive caught alot of native trout in my lifetime and that fish is by FAR the best looking trout I have EVER seen! All I could think is OMG!!!
That is a beautiful fish you got there. Thanks for sharing.
I did a little digging and there are a number of lakes it could be but there happens to be a pair of "boyscout lakes" on Mt Whitney..
To me it looks like it could be one of the Meysan Lakes.
I found this: http://http://outdoors.webshots.com/...43715150SQnNRO album online that has names and pictures of a number of lakes in that area and they all look worthy of some nice fish!
That's a great catch.... It's a Volcanoe Creek Golden Trout

ok, i just talked to my brother and he said it was from crab tree lake.
That is a specie of Golden. My biologist friend from Bishop, Phil Pister used to work for the DFG for over 30 years and I shared a photo similar looking to that trout below and he said it could be hybrid but most definitely a type of "Golden". Congratulations on catching such a trophy.
Reminds me of "Heihachi Ishikawa" the 53 old guy who was in Manzanar who used to slip away for weeks at a time to catch "Goldens" in the Diamond Mesa area behind Mt. Williamson.

awesome trout. Its like a lightning trout body topped with a brown trout. Or something like that. Very nice fish. Isnt that the state fish???
What an incredible fish...great picture too! Did your bro catch that on a lure or bait? There is one in the lodge up at Virginia Lake that was caught on a fly by the owner Carolyn, it looked very similar in size...maybe a tad bigger. As previously stated that looks to be fish of a lifetime!
