Golden Trout?

Caught my first California Golden Trout yesterday in a super tiny stream down the street from my house in Mammoth Lakes. Pretty sure it’s hybridized with a rainbow, but anyone smart enough to tell me if it is for sure? Found a backcountry fishing guide from 2012 that said there were goldens only in this stream and I found that hard to believe because most of the places near me with Goldens are mandatory hike outs to.

Your stories of losing a giant fish

Today I lost an absolute freak of a brown trout. It's a small stream, 10-20 feet wide but known for good size fish. There is also downed trees and cover everywhere. 17" is a very standard catch there. I had good size tippet on (1x/11lb) but this fish just flew around a submerged tree and broke me off. I feel very confident in saying this fish was larger than 2 feet long, it was shocking when it thrashed on the surface

Whats your "one that got away" story?

Would this be good for trout, or should I dedicate it to something else?

is fly fishing better than spin gear on super pressured waters?

Live local to a blue ribbon fishery (C&R only), and nearly everyone fly fishes it. Would it be worth while to drop traditional spin gear for a fly fishing setup? I mostly throw flies on spin gear anyways, but find it’s a little bit hard to get the presentation just right.

Help identifying

I believe it’s a tiger trout from the patter at the top but I’m not sure.

First dinner trout caught at my new house on the snake river.

First dinner trout at my new house on the snake river. Pic taken AFTER quickly dispatching the fish.

Wish I would have measured/weighed this. How does one determine if a trout is stocked or wild?

Dark Colored Trout (Why?)

Was talking with someone last night about a dark colored trout I had recently caught. Reminded me of one I caught years ago as well. The one from years ago is the brook trout, I noticed it was a very dark color. This trout lived under a bridge in an irrigation ditch that gets very hot. I presumed to stay out of the heat.

The second is a golden trout I caught a few weeks ago. Does anyone know why they are so much darker than what you normally see? I’ll attach a picture of another golden I caught that day for comparison.
