colorado sounds like the mecca, cutthroats and all that, you should take me on an elk hunt lol
yeah all of our "golden" trout are stocked and people talk about them like theyre this super rare awesome fish when in all honesty its because they dont stock that many. however most that ive seen are big so they must only release bigger holdovers. we have native browns everywhere though. you should try live crawdads i swear to you its literally a magnet, you know those deep pools? drop him in the bottom and he'll crawl all over the rocks. fishing with lures is more fun but the crawdads are deadly productive if you wanna fill the freezer.
Most the areas I fish for trout are designated flies and lures only so bait is a no go.
As to elk hunting, that may be doable. I want a sika deer. Maybe we can work a trade.
