Stocked Trout Recipes
« on: April 11, 2023, 12:46:18 PM »
What the heck do you guys do to these things to make them palatable?  I now live 3 minutes from a lake that gets stocked and figure it's borderline abuse if I don't take my kids out.... But I what the heck do you do with a grey fleshed rainbow?  Anybody find "the recipe" that takes them from dog food to decent?

If they've been living in cold, fresh water and eating natural food for a month or two, they will be just fine.  Right now, they'll taste like the fish-food-pellets they've been eating for a while.  Long story short; smoke them.   :tup: :twocents:

 :yeah:  I don’t usually keep trout but if I unintentionally catch and injure it I smoke it.

We have a man-made pond on our place that was stocked years ago my kiddos have a blast catching triploid trout out of there. We release most of them but keep a few lunkers (pic) every now and then and they’re awesome eating. We smoke most of them and bbq a few with merely Johnnys and butter.

Might have to pick your brain on that sometime.  We just bought 9.5 acres and we have a pumpkin patch in mind.  I never thought about a possible man-made U-Fish or something but that would pair up with everything else we do.

LOL, I wish.  I gave up on my saltwater boat dreams the second I put an offer on the farm.

 My wife and I catch a ton of trout. We brine them and smoke. Than freeze for latter.

There’s too many good fish in this state to keep stocker trout but you can put them in a crab trap and turn them into crabs. Or crawdads.

I've always thought that the put-and-take trout plants were there for kids. Figure out how to catch them with a single hook lure and shake most of them, keep a few and teach the kids how to prep and smoke them and have fun doing it together.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
