- THE INFAMOUS GOLDEN RAINBOW TROUT!!
Growing up the golden rainbow trout was always mystery. You'd see one every once in a while but rarely could you catch them. Because these fish are so easily seen they get fished for pretty hard. This usually makes them one of the more difficult fish to catch. I don't typically stock trout fish much anymore so I hadn't actually landed one of these golden rainbow trout in more than a decade. Luckily in this video I was able to site fish and catch a handful on the day.
The actual purpose of the trip was to fish for wild brown trout, but they weren't being very cooperative. At the end of the day the browns finally turned on and we were able land a few, but the stock trout fish kept us entertained.
Thanks for watching these videos and for the support! It means a lot.

Always a good day when Hardman Fishing Adventures shows up in my notifications!!
I have never heard or seen one of these fish these fish in my life and they r just beautiful!
Great fishing. Wow, Love tbos Golden Rainbows. Exceptional.
The beginning though🔥
Hey guys I’m from western Maryland . I fish here and in northern wv panhandle and down around smoke holes. I’ve caught a bunch of big brown and rainbow trout. I know a great creek with really big native brook trout in Maryland. I’ve caught many native Brook trout over 12 inches there. I got one Brookie mounted that was 17 inches with a huge hooked jaw.
Beautiful fish
Wow those are some stunning fish Jon. One day I’d love to experience these gorgeous creatures. Great video
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video
What great stream. The goldies were a special treat. Brownies were still in their colors.
Yes it was an awesome stream!
beutiful fish for sure
i think a trout will be the first thing i go afther now when i start to fly fish :)
Good luck!!
Nice video. Here’s some info about Golden Trout - Golden Trout are native to the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Nevada and California. They are a rare, beautiful high mountain fish. They live mostly in high altitude lakes and streams.
I am aware of the native golden trout... these are golden rainbow trout.. different species
Thank you for clarifing that. I had not heard of Golden Rainbow Trout. I did enjoy your video.
Fantastic vídeo my friend in a beautiful river with beautiful trout. Two days ago i went trout fishing and in 1 mile wasnt a single trout. In Portugal many fisherman kill everything. Congrats from Portugal.
Fantastic job. I love when the videos give instruction to us newbies. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed
What a beautiful stream. Great to see wild browns in there.
Yep that's actually originally why I went to that creek, but they were tough to find during the morning
Those are gorgeous special little fish! Thanks for showing them to us!
No problem! Glad you enjoyed
Awesome video guys, I always enjoy watching your videos. I've trout fished here on n.c. and cought a few Golden Bows. My Daughter cought a 21 inch Golden Rainbow about 25 yrs ago. Thanks for all the great videos.
That's awesome!! Glad you enjoyed the video
Wow! I’ve always wanted to catch one! They have managed to deceive me many times!!
They usually do! They're some frustrating fish
They stock those things like crazy here in PA.
Same in WV
WOW those fish are so cool
I’m new to your channel, I love your videos and the Rivera and creeks you fish, I don’t fish to many creeks or rivers, I mostly pond fish around where I live but I love watching your videos, really peaceful and inspirational, keep it up brother and never stop, thank you for such great content you consistently upload, I appreciate you a ton!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Glad you enjoy the videos
Those are so beautiful. The whole video was just awesome. The temps are dropping here in Cherokee NC this weekend again and we're going from 70s to 9 degrees Saturday night with snow ❄ up to 6 inches. I will be so happy to get back out there when it warms back up. Keep up the good work and always, tight lines. Tony
Yep its the same way up here!! Thanks for watching Tony
Only recently found your channel and really enjoy it. Nice video. I stalk lots of wild browns and native brookies. Several years ago my uncle took me to wv hiking, camping, and fly fishing for wild rainbow and brook trout in wv. Wv gets a real bad wrap about water quality due to mining but I can attest being from western maryland that wv blows md away when it comes to trout fisheries. Wv has some awesome brook trout fishing. Especially in the area of the well known rocks a few rattlers there though
Grant county local! Goldie’s are by far the most difficult to catch😂
Beautiful fish 👍🏻
We have tons of those golden trout here in RI. Thanks for the great videos!
Glad you're enjoying them!
Super nice stream!
Thanks Larry!
Pretty stream. My favorite type of water. Does your friend have a big enough net?😁
Beautiful Goldens, would Love to catch one! Nice river too, well Done!
Thank you!!
What a beautiful stream! Being from WV myself I do wish when you're on stock streams you would share the stream you're fishing. Keep up the good work!
Is pretty. Looks lots like the area I grew up in md bordering wv.
Love some Palominos.
Great video.
Awesome video man you were catching fish left and right in that first hole in the beginning and those golden rainbow beautiful. I caught one last year the week after opening day in Pennsylvania and I had my girls with me we were all excited when I caught it. That was my very first Golden Rainbow.
That's so awesome!!! Thanks for watching
Really cool video, I always heard from other fishermen that those gold trout were around. I have never caught or seen one, maybe one day my luck will change, that would be cool. Lot of pretty fish in this video. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Thanks for watching!! One day you'll run into one for sure
I'm from exactly there. Born and raised. Petersburg WV
Awesome video, I've always wanted to catch those Golden Bows so I'm stoked for you!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video
Awesome video, very informative too congrats to the trout you guy’s caught.
Glad you enjoyed!!
@@hardmanfishing I sure did, can’t to get out myself.
Beautiful stream. I started my season yesterday🦈
Great stream to fish! IMHO, golden trout are much prettier than golden rainbow trout (which are a yellow rainbow with a red strip down the middle).
Another fantastic video ! But ... gotta be honest ... I enjoyed the Native Browns and the Bows much more then the Golds. Something just didn't seem right/natural about the Gold's Colors. Oh well, each their own ! 😎
That was awesome! Best video you’ve made in a while!
Thank you!!
Great video even if ya did a little slumming with stockers! LOL To me spawning brookies are the prettiest but those browns will give them a serious run for the title no doubt! Good job!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed (and yes, spawning brookies are unbeatable I think)
Nice!
Thanks for a great video. How do you like the Dryft wader? Thinking about getting a pair. We will be in West Virginia in September any advice on a decent area to fish?
Shavers fork
Waters usually pretty low that time of year.
I bet they get picked off a lot by predators because they stand out so much with their true, bright gold color!
They definitely do!! Eagles love them
I love your vid’s man. I’m a student in WV and I’m terrible at finding trout streams
Glad you enjoy them! As long as you're fishing the eastern portion of the state you should be able to find a few streams for sure
bro, look at the LENS of the camera, NOT at the viewfinder!!
otherwise, pretty cool video and awesome history of the fish!!
Man these fish got some POP to em.😳 It's like they were glowing in the daylight. Gorgeous tho man, just gorgeous! Great vid as always...kinda wondering if the spawn is over now?🤔 Either way plz keep these vidz comin my friend. Peace ✌😎
The spawn for which species? Where I am the rainbows are just starting to spawn and the browns/brookies have been done for a few months.
Palomino trout. Pennsylvania stocks them around me.
Great video man, quality as always!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
I always enjoy your videos - and those wild browns were indeed beautiful. But I guess I’m just not a fan of “golden” trout.
Not everyone is! I just don't catch them often so it's cool to run into them. I don't go out of my way to catch them though honestly
They stock them here in PA and I'm not a fan either. To each his own I guess. They have a tendency to draw people like flies to 💩.
have you ever fished with live worms? i have caught many trout including my personal best 24 inch brown trout with live worms
Of course! But not since I was a lot younger. They're super effective but I just don't personally find enjoyment out of that type of fishing anymore.
What is the blue net. Where did you find it? It looks lite.
What river is that? I frequent cranberry river and it's always been a favorite of mine.
Do you ever keep any trout for eating at home, or catch & cook videos?
the palomino trout up here in Pa is a big deal. they stock some giants in the streams here. I have caught a few that really were amazing!!!
Nice video, however I'd like to see some gentler release of some of the fish. Perhaps something to consider.
nice grand slam
Thanks!
Wish I could post a picture to show you the size of the Golden we caught a couple weeks ago in Ga. Saw a couple even bigger ones, but couldn't get them to bite.
That's awesome!!!
Those are the perfect size for eating.
We thought about keeping a few but decided we didn't want to deal with it
Hi, short question.. Why are you guys using two handed rods for such a little greek? Isn't it a bit too much?
2 handed? These are Euro Rods. They are very light rods used for tight line or euro nymphing specifically. They are not 2 handed rods
What nymphs were you using and was you double nymph rigging?
Kind of like fishing in a hatchery pond. Not a lot of skill required. Still it can be a nice change of pace from very technical trout.
Well we were there for the wild browns... but they were indeed a nice change of pace
🤝🤝🤝👍
what have you got on for line? Looks like braid.
Cortland Mono Core euro nymphing line
@@hardmanfishing thank you!
Correction on previous comment, all the fish are gorgeous
What a honey hole!! Beautiful goldens, hoping to make a trip to WY from Houston this summer where I’ve read some reside.
What boots are you wearing? I’m starting to gear up for this trip and it’s about time I get some dedicated fresh water wading boots. Thx sir
Korkers Devils Canyon! And I love them
@@hardmanfishing thank you sir, I’ll be looking into those. The crank seems extremely convenient especially on cold days when laces are no fun to tie. Hopefully they hold up well in saltwater as well
What weight fly rod do you use for your trout fishing adventures?
We call goodies marker fish. There's usually more trout nearby..
That's the best way to do it. If there is a goldie there are probably 2 or 3 other rainbows or browns near by
Why do east coast fly fisherman always talk about them being wild brown, or a wild rainbow, Like it feels like people focus on that to much. Besides that great video, and some healthy looking trout
I'm not exactly sure where you're from... but the reason is because we have a ton of stocked trout. Stocked trout aren't nearly as interesting because they grow up in raceways and are thrown in the water specifically to catch and rarely survive. Wild trout are born and raised in the stream so catching one of them is far more of an accomplishment. Not to mention they're far prettier, fight harder, and are a lot more rare. Hope this answers your question! Thanks for watching
Gold rush!
Yep! I may try to Catch a few this year
Love your net ! What brand is it?
Catch Cam Net!
They can be pretty tough for a stocked trout. I assume due to their visibility.
Yep 100%
what reel are you using in this video?
are the goldens sterile?
This IS an albino rainbow tout. Pretty common in fish farms.
It's not an albino actually, that's a misconception! It's just a different strain of rainbow trout
I am from wv, wanna hit this stream. where is it?
Ok, so stoked stream, with wild brown trout… no brookies?
There are apparently some brookies but we didn't catch any!
@@hardmanfishing wild natives or stocked?
@@ericblair1011 Native I believe. But don't quote me on that I didn't catch one lol
Bro I know stocked fish pod-up. But that hole was silly 🙃
I also catch golden trout. RI stocks them.
RI stocks much bigger goldens
@@kevinpayne5825 to be fair these weren't large but its just luck of the draw. There are definitely come big ones too
Hi
not a golden theyre called palamino
Golden rainbow, palomino… just two names for the same fish. Golden trout are different tho
