Yes amazing colour!! Man what a rare beauty!! I wanted a golden when i hitchhiked across the wester provinces, but all of the lakes i could find access was too rough to get in by foot. I did cross a number of species off my bucket list that summer though catching bull, dolly varden and cutthrout trout....funny how common some of these fish would be for some of you guys, and how rare they are for easterners.
I thought it looked kinda familiar. They where introduced to Tasmanian from North Eastern American in 1898. Found a pic of a Rainbow Trout so you can see the similarity.thank you she really is a beautiful fish! cant wait to hang her on the wall!

heres a little thing about them i found online:
Golden Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Species overview:
The golden rainbow trout is a gold-orange rainbow trout raised under artificial fish culture conditions and stocked as a novelty for angling sport. The golden rainbow was developed from one fish, a single female trout with a genetic mutation that gave her a mixed golden and normal rainbow trout coloration. She was found in the West Virginia hatchery system in 1954. Through selective breeding with regularly marked rainbow trout, an all-gold, golden rainbow trout was developed. In 1963, this fish strain was popularized as the “West Virginia Centennial Golden Trout.” Pennsylvania and other states hybridized the pure strain of West Virginia golden trout with normal rainbows and produced palomino trout, which were true genetic palominos. Palomino trout were first stocked in Pennsylvania in 1967. Since then, the genetic strain in Pennsylvania has weakened, but in recent years the hybrid was selectively bred back closer to the stronger, better-colored golden rainbow trout. Although palominos were stocked as both average-sized and large trout, today’s golden rainbow is raised only to trophy size for anglers and stocked throughout the state.
i think it depends either on Genetics or their diet or could be both....
