A golden triangle, also known as the sublime triangle,is an isosceles triangle in which the duplicated side is in the golden ratio to the distinct side:

$${ a \over b} = \varphi = {1 + \sqrt{5} \over 2}.$$

Golden triangles are found in the nets of several stellations of dodecahedrons and icosahedrons.

Also, it is the shape of the triangles found in the points of pentagrams. The vertex angle is equal to

$$\theta = \cos^{-1}\left( {\varphi \over 2}\right) = {\pi \over 5} = 36^\circ.$$

Since the angles of a triangle sum to 180°, base angles are therefore 72° each. The golden triangle can also be found in a decagon, or a ten-sided polygon, by connecting any two adjacent vertices to the center. This will form a golden triangle. This is because: 180(10-2)/10=144 degrees is the interior angle and bisecting it through the vertex to the center, 144/2=72.

The golden triangle is also uniquely identified as the only triangle to have its three angles in 2:2:1 proportions.

The Golden Triangle is an informal designation for a region renowned as one of the premier fly fishing locations in the United States. The region is named for its approximate boundaries that form an equilateral triangle having an apex at Glacier National Park and encompassing Yellowstone National Park and the eastern portion of Idaho. Superior fly fishing also exists in the surrounding areas of the Rocky Mountains in Idaho and western Montana.

Due to a large number of major rivers such as the Yellowstone, Madison, Gallatin, and the Blackfoot, many hundreds of fast, clear-running streams and high alpine lakes, the region contains a large number of trout. Species such as brook, rainbow, brown, cutthroat, Dolly Varden, and golden trout are plentiful in this area, generally wild, and range in size from a few ounces to several pounds.
