He does anatomically correct fish art. The Aurora sound like the Golden trout down here. Not many in Oregon but some in the wilderness areas far Northeast. California has some amazing golden specimens, but you have to hike way in to find the really pure ones. Sounds pretty rad really. I would love to go to Mexico as well as it has an extremely isolated Golden Trout strain and Taiwan has some very unique rainbow trout genetics at high elevation. I just always feel guilty traveling because of the emissions.

The sierra nevada mountain range has a bunch of high elevation lakes i would absolutely love to go to!! But alas, i am starting to get a bit old now for hardcore adventures

As much music of Nahko's as I have been posting maybe somehow he will do a song about the Lahontan Cutthroat that were nearly clubbed to extinction in the Truckee River in Cali and there is a tiny population of them isolated in what I believe the state calls purity here in Oregon. Anyhow they are hidden in one of the most remote and rugged parts of the state and am hoping they are there forever! One of the largest salmonids historically going up to 130lbs or so. Like Elwha River chinook and Mongolian Taiman, special fish that need protection. Bunch of us tree hugging pot head hippies gotta watch out for them.

Aurora

Look just like way northern Arctic Char, or maybe I have misidentified them all these years. Beautiful fish.

I live and fish in areas where populations of humans is pretty low and fish populations are pretty high, but even here somebody has to protect the fish! I could go on all night about the crap i have dealt with on rivers by jerks with no respect for the fish.

Yes similar in appearance to char for sure....here in cannada they are very very rare, being only in a handful of lakes across the entire country.

I have been here... 37.966288, -119.270895 and caught a few dozen goldens as a teenager, you can park a camper right there. Dad was so sick with Cystic Fibrosis he could barely breath at nearly 11,000'. That whole lake was iced over 1/2" maybe in the morning when we left, the trout were not rising anymore lmao But yeah, the best spots are deep woods. Volcano Creek goldens, Kern River, all over down there really.

Luckily your country seems to care more about stuff like that than some aspects of mine. I was just near Neah Bay, WA and daydreamed of swimming over to Victoria lol went there as a kid it was epic!

Ive always wanted to catch goldentrout (and tigers too!). Some of the high elevation lakes in the rockies in BC have them, but getting there? LOL

The lakes where the aurora are....you can fish one or two lakes every year....but i heard you can only catch a single fish and then you have to leave regardless of whether you release it or not. The fish police watch over the lake with binoculars...its good because they are so rare i guess, but it sure doesnt make me want to plan a trip around them!!

I believe they use a tiger triploid down in a few places a lot down here because the growth rate is insane and they eat all the other fish so it helps eliminate unwanted species and can't reproduce as it's a triploid. The do triploid rainbows in Washington that regularly go twenty plus pounds when people randomly catch them. I would love to fish Kamloops, the Kootenay, and then go on over to hit the Crowsnest and Bow and anything else in between. Probably find some good weed while I'm at it ha ha
