5 Tips for Catching Golden Trout | Proven Techniques for High Altitude Success
This is a tricky one, because big Golden Trout are so hard to pattern correctly. What I mean when I say that is that they have patterns that are sometimes unpredictable compared to other trout. First of all, they typically live at a high altitude, so their food sources look different than many other trout. They also are heavily effected by the weather at these high altitude lakes, and so they might be in 4 feet of water one day, and 25 feet of water the next! At the end of the day, here are the 5 things that I think will best help anglers catch more Goldens.
