Just wondering if others have heard of lightning trout. I believe they are mainly planted in Santa Ana River Lakes in California, but I wasn't sure if they are going to be put into other lakes outside of California. These trout are golden in color and are suppose to fight and taste better than rainbows (subjective).
The fish are actually rainbows that were bred from a rainbow that was very bright in color. I bet they would look really great in a very clear lake on the end of my line.
Thought it was a very interesting looking trout. I saw a picture of one next to a rainbow and you can really notice how bright the lightning trout are when placed next to a regular rainbow. I attached a picture of one I found.
