ABOUT THE GOLDEN TROUTThough populations have been stocked throughout the American West and into Canada, the California golden trouts native range is limited to less than a 600 square mile area high within the headwaters of the Kern River watershed in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains. Over the years the fish have lost access to large portions of their native waters, but much of what remains connected are encompassed within the Golden Trout Wilderness, a protected backcountry portion of the Kern Plateau spanning the Sequoia and Inyo National Forests. – Greg Fitz Trout MagazineThis reel is inspired by the beauty of the golden trout and seeks to help benefit important restorations efforts that are ongoing in Sierra Nevada California.
