Great post and beautiful fish. About 35 years ago, I went on a 50 mile backpacking trip with my scout troop to the Wind Rivers area. We hiked into a point called Pyramid lake. The Golden trout were spawning in the outlet to the river. There were so many in the shallows that we caught them with our hands and threw them on the bank in the snow until dinner. Well, I was only 13, and I couldn't get my hands on one despite spending abouty an hour in teh river chasing them. Anyway, I remember how delicious they were. They were big too. At least my 33 year old memory remembers them as big. Who knows. I would love to see goldens that size in Utah somewhere. Maybe someday soon.
