Finished this trout carving this morning. Its suppose to be a "Native" Rainbow trout. Pennsylvania has only 5 known small streams that hold this native species.
The rest are stocked Rainbows.
This past fall we hiked in to one of these small tributaries and managed to catch several small ones. the color on them were incredible
This carved one is actually 15 inches.
thanks for looking

Very nice Greg. I did not know there was a native rainbow. I have caught many native brookies and some native brownies when I was a kid but never rainbow. Most all natives I was aware of are only small and get to be about 12" at most. I know the brookies are gorgeous, bright in color with red bellies like I have never seen anywhere else. Over the years the PFC started stocking the native streams and ruined them here. Then the fishmen caught on to the streams and kept them... Now you can't find a native. Really up-set me.

Beautiful carving, thanks for posting!

Nice carving. Rainbow's are not a native trout in Pennsylvania. But in those few streams you mention there are some wild Rainbow Trout. Rainbows were brought in and stocked years ago from out west. In a few streams the Rainbows reproduced and no stocking was required. Those few steams have what is called wild trout. The only native trout is the the Brook Trout.

Thanks guys for the post.
Rick,
we took tons of pictures and I carved them from that. we also caught several nice little native Brooks that day too. most of this area is really shaded (Dark). tons of timber rattlesnake too. most of those fish were really dark from lack of sunlight. Really neat area, most people don't know about. *up*

Gregg, Lots of talent there. *up* *up* *up* Trout looks alive!
