These ain’t no Brown Trout…these are “Coleman Strain” Rainbows. The Coleman strain, maintained by the Hot Creek hatchery, is the result of a 1968 importation of fish from the Coleman National Hatchery, Anderson, California. The strain was established at Coleman in 1949 from a shipment of Kamloops trout eggs from Pennask Lake, British Columbia. Over the years at Coleman it was mixed with steelhead and resident rainbow trout from Battle Creek, a Sacramento River tributary, and it is no longer regarded as a Kamloops strain by the CDFG.
Damn fine day.
