Title: Why is this trout so yellow?
Post by: WalkersKiller on August 02, 2011, 04:24:38 PM: Hi guys was just thinking is this cock (That was in full spawn) possibly a golden trout? Millstream dont stock golden trout on purpose but occasionally some do get into the dams... What do you guys think? If this is a Golden Trout is my first :-)

I am almost 100% sure your fish is a hen - the cocks lower jaw ends in a pronounced hook.
