Chubs!

[Coldfooter]

Yeppers Pat,, Perch were certainly considered a trash fish here in Utah at one time.. I can recall the day of the boat rental shop near the Provo river inlet at Deer Creek and the countless times my father rented us kids a old row boat to paddle out and catch perch all day long. Those were the days of plenty,, "take plenty of night crawlers and catch plenty of darn perch. Get em out of the lake!". It was a time of NO limits on perch and often we lined the bottom of the old row boat with them, yet, I dont remember eating one untill years and years later...... Heck,, as I recall even the gulls wouldnt eat em back then.. Now like so many other things,, change has stepped in and so raised the status of the lowly Yeller Perch.

I suppose chubs do have their place in the great scheme of things. I just havent figured out where yet, other than cut bait.. I wonder if a person used the old pine board trick to bake em on if they wouldnt turn out a bit better. I know it works for Goose.[]
