Yes I know Loco that Goldens may have their place in high elev relatively sterile waters.
But what I am remarking about is their recent introduction into Lost and Sidley,two
lakes in Okanogan County that are hardly high elevation or food poor lakes. In fact Sidley has one of the stronger chironomid and Mayfly hatches in Okanogan County.

I still say"Why Goldens", even in most high lakes, where the brook trout has proven about
as capable of surviving short growing seasons and breeds readily without the cost of
replanting.
