How to catch Golden Rainbow Trout
Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.
- Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
- Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
- Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.
First catch: the creature is added to the Omnidex. Offer it to Mors at the Omni-Gallery to put it on display and unlock its Omnipedia entry.

Golden rainbow trout are a selectively bred variant of rainbow trout distinguished by their golden coloration, while their other biological traits remain unchanged.
This golden coloration is a dominant trait, meaning it can persist even through crossbreeding with other trout species, with offspring often inheriting the same hue. As a result, a golden rainbow trout caught in the wild is not necessarily a "24k" golden trout.
