Went out on Saturday morning to fish and saw what I thought was a dead fish - belly up. Then got closer and thought maybe it was log that was in the water - very light in color. Then the log swam away and returned back to its holding pattern. I got closer and realized it was a trout. I have never seen one - but heard people say it might be a palomino - but I thought it was a golden trout?

Question - are they the same and is that common in SW PA? It measured about 21 inches! A real monster.

PS - I did not catch it either. I must have put it down when I got closer.
