Natively none.

wild populations introduced - only 4 species.\

 Eastern cape - Rainbow Trout
 Natal Midlands - Rainbow, Brown and brook trout
 Mpumalanga - Rainbow, brown and landlocked salmon

All Golden trout I have ever seen were stocked.

That makes it 5 species that I am aware of.

The Rainbow is by far the most abundant.

that is not the same golden trout as in your pic - the one found is SA is a hybrid - In fact, this last week I was with Wolf Avni - a trout breeder and very knowledgeable about throut - especially in SA - he told me about its hybridisation - it is a reccessive gene that has been in bred to get the gold

As for the silver salmon - its a salmon not a trout actually

as you wish albino , golden hybrid or whatever..you can catch them.
Salmon and trout are very very close family, but you are right they are sibling in the family tree

I know Wolf well and have been to Giants Cup a few times. Very opinionated. But interesting man. I quite enjoyed his books, different style of writing but nice
