[#008000]Haven't heard of any goldens being this far south. Here is a chart to ponder over. BTW I don't have an answer.[/#008000]

maybe a redband trout. Not sure of the location of that stream but they are found in some streams in Cal. Only in the north.

[left][font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]At about 6" for the top and 8" for the bottom fish they would be considered as juveniles. At that stage in their life would believe that they are developing truer coloring & markings. What do you think?[/size][/#008000][/font]

i would guesse a redband. But another way they tell to distinguish a redband is. The tips of there fins have a bit of white. The bottom fish you can tell but cant see any on the top.
