cool Brandon, and do you know where those beasts decendents came from... the Mcloud river flowing off Mt Shasta into Shasta lake... it is the most prevelently dispersed strain of trout in the world, many world class trout rivers all over the world are full of trout that were transported from california, like the eagle lake strain.. one of the most rugged strains capable of adapting to almost any suitable river.. all from california, not Montana or Idaho or wyoming or colorado.. The most sought after trout strain for building a fishery is from only 300 miles from your house.... cool huh?
