Your Idea of the Prettiest Trout?

[Lotech]

Haveonly caught a few golden, but brook are my favorite. Actually chrome steelhead are my favorite but not look wise. Have you ever looked for golden in WA?

I'm not sure they even inhabit Washington. If they do, and they're close, I'll put them on my bucket list.

Beautiful longear, Poke'em! One of my favorites as well. My favorite fish is the one on the end of my line, and maybe it's my lack of taste, but I even find appeal in catfish and drum. Having said that, this little guy I got last June is one of the prettier fish I've caught this year:IMGP6252.jpg

Prettiest trout? Got to be brookies.

I think brookies in full spawning coloration like that one are the prettiest. I have never killed one and eaten it though. How did it taste?

They are GREAT, especially fresh out of the stream into the frypan, a little butter, maybe a litle breading, maybe not. Fry to a golden brown, nice and crispy, and enjoy!!

Google is your friend! It will take a bit of googling/researching. Maybe just a quick call to WDFW. If Lost lake or sidely lake are near you I would start there.

I found one lake in Washington with Golden Trout, but it's a long back pack hike into it and my back and legs say no more of that. RATS!

if ii had to choose it would be a brook trout, but brown trout do look cool
