Goldfish aint even native to North America, let alone a goldfish native to California...so Im questioning you being expert on ID the fishes....BIG_ONE;2864644; said:sacramento river ey...
that's where i fish and i have fished on the sac river for 11 years now and fish on the sac river 90% of the time. which stretch of the sac river did you get it from? I believe that's a PURE NATIVE WILD GOLDFISH, baby carp are not as wide as of "height" and they are a lot whiter/bright silvery and has small barbels starting to form.
they will soon turn into a bronze looking color, close to a carp just not into dark dark bronze or golden bronze(kind of like feeder goldfish) they are also much more hardy than any goldfish out there.
wild goldfish would be legal to use for bait as long as its not the golden/orange ones from the shop, and so are carp.
if you need help identifying wild natives fish out from the sac river or ANY part of the west coast, feel free to PM me or go to http://fishsniffer.com/ and ask them for help would be fine also.

hey so far, its now called native to the Sac River, i've seen many of em here.
if you really think about it, no place contains a true true native species except on a rare occasion in a few rivers/lakes.
that is just like saying the native american is native to the USA back in the days, but to trace it back truely. nope, they are from siberia.

ahh that place, haven't been there for a good 2-3 yrs. but never really saw any wild goldfish there, I do see abundant of them around knights landing during summer spawning season for goldfish and carp. although carp always out populate them and on rare occasion you'll see them.
We cannot called goldfish a native, we called them as nonnative, feral, exotic or invasive. Sorry but it cannot become native after dumped in the Sac river for just few years.BIG_ONE;2866404; said:hey so far, its now called native to the Sac River, i've seen many of em here.

I don't know how many years you call it a few years. but on my 11 years experience with the sac river, it seems to be more than a few years to me. im pretty sure they are there for a very very long time, probably even before you and I were born
