Not found in nature, the palomino trout are genetically manipulated rainbows. They are one of a number of artificial strains developed in hatcheries for enjoyment by anglers.
West Virginia Conservation Department discovered a single rainbow trout in 1954 that was partly normally pigmented and partly gold. West Virginia developed the fully golden strain, and by the 1960s, that strain became popular among anglers. In the 1960s, the Commission began producing and stocking the gold-colored palomino trout.
The only places I know of they can be found are PA, DE and WV where they are routinely stocked.
