They are the most awesome fish to add to a pond for the cold open water fishing and especially winter ice fishing months. They make just an awesome bonus fish to catch while out icefishing. They are very aggressive and readily eat small rapalas, jigging spoons, minnows, and wax worms through the ice.
Check out this video from last season ice fishing trout in illinois. The golden trout gets caught at about 5:20 in the video.
I also have plenty of rainbows available as well. We stock 1000's of them in small ponds and lakes across central illinois for Ice Fishing Bonus'. Typically they will live until the 3rd week of June and grow to about 3 lbs each by then, but this year due to the cold summer we had tons of lakes and ponds carry their trout all sumer long. Our average carry over trout is 4-5 lbs, but we have several of them grow to over 7 lbs in just one year!!! It is unbelievable how much these fish will eat and grow.
