Wanted to share a story with you guys about the infamous Lightning Trout . IDK if any of you have had the pleasure of catching one but it’s definitely different and the ones they are raising now at Lake Amador are hard hard fighting fish they are calling them Amador Golds !!! About 2 years ago we were still in the drought and I heard Mt Lassen was gonna start planting Amador well I did some research on Mt Lassen and noticed they planted Corona Lake down in SoCal and they planted these huge fish that were called lightning trout and they were way over 10 lbs
anyway I mentioned it to the lodge owners and low and behold that same season they started planting them there . First couple of times I couldn’t bring myself to keep one then talking to a friend Calndn he says hey they are good eating so it was around March or April and towards the last of the season before it gets too hot and Chris had got quite a few nice hogs that year so he told me use rainbow garlic powerbait for them well I did and the very last day at Amador produced a nice 8 lb LT ! Thanks Chris couldn’t have got this without you so shout out bro
Amador is still planting these and they are getting bigger around 5 lbs now with the beautiful red stripe and dark red meat eats very well . We have watched them raise these fish since they were eggs and fry , super cool here’s some more porn for ya
Here’s looking at you and tightlines always BF
