We would go after work three nights a week and she would limit out.
We smoke them up.

I’ll cook one on occasion but I see it as junk food.

Don't even bother fishing in the summer Drilling holes in solid water is the only way I go good firm flesh and not muddy tasting
That’s probably wise but i’ve never tried it. Rainbows have admittedly been replaced in my cupboards by a surplus of west slope cutts in Summer from “secret lake”.

It might not be halibut or sockeye, but it's still good eats.

It always amazes me how many people on this board dislike eating these trout. To the point of calling it dog food.

Yeah, it isn't the worst thing for sure, I would just rather eat salmon or crab. I would eat 100 trout before I ate some of the overseas farmed fish out there, particularly the super nasty bottom stuff like tilapia.

I'm one of them I suppose. I do like wild trout or trout that have been living in the wild (eating a non-pellet diet) for a while. It's the mushy, pale-meat planters I don't care for.

I eat them too. I'll fry the smaller ones in oil and will even eat that tail if it crisps up nice.
Post by: CP on March 17, 2020, 05:34:26 PM
I really like catching the triploids with a small black lure with red tinsel from the shore or in a pontoon with a trolling motor. Have a caught many from the shore in the evening with my little five foot ugly stick. Sometime the fight is tremendous, sometime they don't really fight at all.

How about a pic of that small black lure?

Have you seen that 60 minutes special on Tilapia and Prawns from China and Vietnam?
They raise them in cesspool, literally human feces are their food.
Mass produced and sold everywhere in the US. The majority of tilapia in the US come from China and Vietnam. They grow extremely fast, and they spend nothing on feed.
When we were in Vietnam in 2018, we saw many Tilapia farms. Friggin nasty!
I could never eat Tilapia :puke:

No pic on my phone of one but no secrets here. I believe it is a 1/16 ounce black rooster tail with red tinsel in the tail part. Bi-mart seems to be the only retailer I can find the ones with red tinsel. If trolling or casting, I put a few crimp weights about two feet (maybe less) above the lure.
