The golden rainbow trout originated from a single rainbow trout that was spawned in the
fall of 1954 in West Virginia. Typically, these fish are more of a brilliant golden color
than the palomino rainbow trout, which has a color phase intermediate between the
golden and normally pigmented rainbow trout.

Twinkies, ‘Naner Trout, Yeller Chubs, etc. Stupid-Psychotic-Freakozoid fish. They are lightbulbs in the stream. Around here the bait chuckers drive up and down the rivers looking for “them gold ones” which give away the location of likely a whole pod of rainbows, where they sit down on their buckets and commence to cleaning out a hole. I hate those yellow p.o.s fish.
That said, I’ve caught several and always laugh every time I do. I have one photo of one I laid out beside my bamboo rod that got a great laugh from my buddies. I’ll see if I can dig it up sometime.
