Subject:
what kind of trout?
Message:
Hey a buddy of mine dug up this pic of a trout he caught about 12 years ago. Claims its a golden trout but I thought they were only found on the west coast and at higher elevations. This was caught in Trumbull, CT in a lake. Looks more like a yellow trout to me. Any ideas? Seems rare for CT as ive never caught anything like it and have been fishing my whole life.

Hi!
That is a Golden Rainbow -> Also known as a Palomino Trout.
A mutant strain of rainbow originally, I belive. breed in Penn.
True Golden trout are only found out west in high alpine lakes and ponds and always have these beautiful par markings on their sides.
