Loomis -> Laurel Highlands Fishin (11/1/2009 9:02:19 PM)

Did awesome with a fellow board member in the Highlands yet again...Water was excellent, a little leafy, but we managed.  All in all a great day to be out.  Fished some stocked/unstocked tribs and did well in each.  Rain held off pretty good for the most part and was very warm in the morning.

Beautiful Fish

It's amazing what you can come across in this region if you do some exploring, and experimentation.  I have seen/caught some really special fish around here and frequent this area as often as I can.  Iv'e been a decent amount of places to fish, but I like nothing better than Laurel Highlands.....hope you enjoyed

bert34200 -> RE: Laurel Highlands Fishin (11/2/2009 1:46:27 AM)

Really nice colors on those fish.  Skinny water for that big bow to be holding! Nice pics man.



Loomis -> RE: Laurel Highlands Fishin (11/2/2009 6:34:23 AM)

that bow tried numerous times to power up where the bear was spotted, never saw one get brave enough to try it, needless to say he didn't make it far.

So were mine, still was up and on time.



razmatazz05 -> RE: Laurel Highlands Fishin (11/2/2009 1:25:10 PM)

ya, i wondered why you smelt like trout before your first cast...



young -> RE: Laurel Highlands Fishin (11/4/2009 5:39:50 PM)

The orangish trout stocked by the Commission are accurately called "golden rainbow trout."
The golden rainbow trout originated from a single rainbow trout that was spawned in the fall of 1954 in West Virginia. This trout's body color was a chimera of golden and normally pigmented tissue. When this fish was crossed with a normally pigmented rainbow trout, the offspring (what we have come to refer to as palomino rainbow trout) were lighter in color.
Golden rainbow trout and palomino rainbow trout are not sterile hybrids, they are simply color variations of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and should not be confused with the golden trout (Oncorhynchus aguabonita) native to a few drainages in California. It took selective breeding for several generations to result in the development of true breeding golden rainbow trout. Typically, these fish are more of a brilliant golden color than the palomino rainbow trout, which has a color phase intermediate between the golden and normally pigmented rainbow trout.
In Pennsylvania, the rise of the palomino rainbow trout stemmed from obtaining fertilized golden rainbow trout eggs from West Virginia. Subsequently, when these golden rainbow trout reached maturity, they were crossed with normally pigmented rainbow trout and the offspring resulted in the development of the palomino rainbow trout. The initial stockings of palomino rainbow trout in Pennsylvania waters occurred during the 1967 season. At present, however, due to their more brilliant coloration, we use golden rainbow trout exclusively for production purposes rather than the lighter palomino rainbow trout.

Thanks for posting something that we've all read a thousand times.

I just dont feel comfortable calling an Orange trout a golden Trout.
respect to the real goldies from Cali.  word.



KJH807 -> RE: Laurel Highlands Fishin (11/5/2009 9:55:51 AM)

can i just call it a hatchery mutant?



razmatazz05 -> RE: Laurel Highlands Fishin (11/5/2009 10:17:41 AM)

only if it has a reverse Kype...



Loomis -> RE: Laurel Highlands Fishin (11/5/2009 10:29:55 AM)

who honestly cares.  I like them being in the stream because it keeps the "less inclined" anglers occupied.

Kind of like the "how to keep a dummy busy" cards.



razmatazz05 -> RE: Laurel Highlands Fishin (11/5/2009 10:46:40 AM)

guilty of keeping busy. 

i like them because they're different, and usually larger.
*steelhead in the highlands excluded.



RhnstnCowboy -> RE: Laurel Highlands Fishin (11/5/2009 10:55:49 AM)

I like them because of their stunted mouths, raceway burns, and appetite for Purina.

Great pics and thanks for sharing.

Razz... incredible bow, you weren't kidding, and on the boo! Niiicee.

I was up in the area friday and a buddy of mine raped those wild bows on dare I say it, the dreaded PowerWorm.  I swung and stripped and came up empty handed in an hour of fishing :(... back to the dry fly this week locally, but we should meet up this weekend in the Highlands.



Loomis -> RE: Laurel Highlands Fishin (11/9/2009 10:56:59 AM)

NICE DUDE! 

Looks like a good time had by you guys, love to see it....
