I am going through some old pictures. Here is one of a palomino trout I caught in the Rockaway River by the Rockaway Boro Fire House on opening day 1996 it was a little over 3lbs. This trout was caught during the good old days of Prosport and there awesome trout stockings[up][up] Enjoy!:)

I didn't know they were called PalaminoTrout. I always called them Golden Trout.

You learn something new everyday[up]
 
Man that's very cool [up]
Now I need to look thru my old photos and see if I can find a picture of the one I caught while fishing in PA with my son years ago, 22 inchs and right around 5 lbs. You should have seen me running down stream trying not to loose it with it jumping and twisting in the air. Like I said VERY COOL and a great trophy to [up]

Golden Trout & Palamino Trout are the same fish just diffrent name. This was a very cool looking fish it had a florecent orange line down it's side. I caught this fish and the big rainbow within 5 minutes of each other plus 1 other brook trout a little smaller then the big one in my gallery. I have not seen a Palamino Trout since that day.

Yes that fish did have a tag in it's mouth. A local sport shop stocked them with tags. Those of you from the morris county area and are old enough to know remember Prosport Bait and Tackle. They would put up from 700-1000 trout from 2lbs up to 12lbs into a 1/2 stretch of River in Rockaway Boro JerseyJim I am sure you remember the days of Phil and the great opening days he provided for us God Rest his Soul he was a great man and had a great shop[up]

I was going to get that fish mounted I had it wrapped in Cotton in the freezer I came home one day from work after making arrangments with the taxidermist and went to get it from the freezer and wouldn't you know it was gone??? My EX- Freaking Mother In-law through it out not knowing what it was. I was so pissed off you don't know[mad] I was thinking of getting a reproduction of it done but I have no measurements.
 
Not really Similar thing with like 5 really nice trout waiting to go to the taxidermist one of which was the Golden trout and another was a huge 6 lbs. hook jawed brown my son caught, anyway long story short came back from vacation and found a defrosted freezer of stew, lost everything. But at least I have some pictures of them some where in the basement and the memories to last a life time.
