But, if you&#8217;re into native trout you might want to make the pilgrimage to this part of the Golden State. Redbands are the main attraction. An ancient form of rainbow trout, these fish have been geographically isolated from their coastal cousins for millennia. Over the years they&#8217;ve adapted to their unique environments, and gotten seriously colorful. On this two day trip, I was after three. Maybe you&#8217;ve heard of the McCloud River Redband, but the other two might be new to you. Finding these rare fish will test your research skills, but catching them is a whole different challenge. If you&#8217;re into stunning native fish in remote small streams, this one is for you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W5Eiocnt2YA?si=e98U06iBzIaH8h6g\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A discovery for many: the Red Band trout!
