Colorado Parks and Wildlife recently announced a unique backcountry fishing opportunity.
That was the description in a news release from Joe Brand, manager of State Forest State Park in northwestern Colorado. Two alpine lakes here are newly home to golden trout, the California state fish whose population diminished at State Forest in the 1990s.
The shiny trout swim elsewhere in Colorado, but the state wildlife agency maintains the record catch of 22 1/2 inches took place at State Forest s Kelly Lake in 1979. The species was first stocked there earlier that decade. Despite their short tenure in Kelly Lake, the news release noted, the reputation of golden trout being a fun-to-catch and brightly colored fish lives on in the memory of area anglers.
Anglers in northern Colorado are hoping some tiny fish will mean the return of a popular catch at State Forest State Park. About 600 golden trout have been stocked into two high-elevation, backcountry lakes, in the park with the hopes that theyâll grow to catchable size in a few years.
Golden trout are the state fish of California and native to the Upper Kern River drainage near Mt. Whitney and Sequoia National Park in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Central California. They were believed extinct by the mid-20th century. The species was originally described by ichthyologist David Starr Jordan in 1892. History buffs will know that Jordan was the first Chancellor of Stanford University. After the golden trout was recovered in California, it was bred in hatcheries and was stocked in lakes within the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah beginning in the 1970s.
