Buffalo Gals

Just thought I'd start a thread about the Buffalo DALO if anyone was interested, I'll be fishing there probably 90% of the time now through May.

The state stocked yesterday and TU the week prior.

Was out to day and had a blast anybody else?

Couple of us plan on checking things out on Wednesday. We did good on black buggers last year. What's hot this year ?

red tail green weenies.

I am from the south hills of PGH, what or where is this DALO you speak of? ALways looking for a new destination.

There are no palominos in Pennsylvania. Haven't been for years. I wish people would get that straight. But I guess that's like asking them so stop pronouncing creek as "crick."

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 - click for more informationGolden 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.

Very nice water up there, but does not get stocked due to poaching issues preseason and posted property that float stockers would have to go through.

What difference doest it make? Honestly?

It's the equivalent of calling a Whitetail Deer a Mule Deer.

The real question is why someone would continue using the wrong term even after being corrected. That's beyond ignorant... venturing into the realm of the absurdly stubborn and/or terrifyingly idiotic.

No, it's not. Those are two accepted variations on the pronunciation of tomato.

This is like calling an apple a tomato, being corrected, and then still continuing to do so because "tomato rolls off the tongue."

You don't call buses taxis or airplanes helicopters, so why call golden rainbow trout palominos? Break the cycle of stupidity. It begins with you.

PS. Y u so mad tho?

Professor verbatm is here to teach us all a lesson. Now instead of having fun and blogging about fishing lets all get a lecture on how to be super smart like he is. Maybe he should change his name to masterbait-um? Thanks for ruining another thread.

Stick to the topic boys...

Fished Buffalo DALO with a friend today and did well on black buggers. Most were rainbows but we did take a few nice browns. Water level and color is great. Be back again next week.
