[size 2][size 1]Hello Davetclown,[/size]
[size 1]I've cleaned but not yet cooked them, but the fish are planted from Mt. Lassen and were healthy looking trout, I would imagine they'll be pretty tasty. I generally just go with lemon, lots of butter in a frying pan. I have some striper in thee freezer that I am going to fry up with them as well.[/size]
[size 1]As for fishing in a bucket, I guess its easy to say when the fish are on like they were that day, but to the anglers who were shut out, well they may not agree. I always find it amusing to hear the analogy fishing in a bucket, I've fished many natural waterways, lakes and streams, much smaller then Corona Lake but yet this analogy doesn't apply to natural waterways? Also have you ever stopped to consider how many natural waterways (even the huge ones) are planted with fish.[/size]
[size 1]Are planted fish any easier to catch then natural fish?[/size]
[size 1]In many cases harder, I've been hunting in remote area's and camped. During down time from hunting I've fished these remote locations, as many of you know fish that have rarely been fished will hit just about anything (from the stream to the pan in minutes, TASTY!).[/size]
[size 1]On the issue of undesirable tasting fish, that's interesting Dave, I have had undesirable tasting fish many many times from many many locations (undesirable tasting game as well) and have yet to figure that one out. It seems to me fish from the same location aprox. the same age, cooked the same way, sometimes taste different.[/size]
[size 1]I know in game this is largely due to diet and efficiency of kill but have never completely understood this about fish? Kinda always assumed that the same factors applied but don't completely buy that reasoning?[/size]
[size 1]Lastly on the fishing in a bowl statement, In my mind it always raises the other questions I hear asked often that I feel are equally as ridiculous.[/size]
[size 1]Is the artificial bait angler any more of a sportsmen then the angler who fishes live bait?[/size]
[size 1]Is the Fly Fisherman anymore of a sportsmen then the conventional angler?[/size]
[size 1]Is the bow hunter any more of a sportsmen then a rifle hunter?[/size]
[size 1]Is the catch and release angler anymore of a sportsmen then the angler who enjoys the taste of his catch and exercises his own discretion in determining what he will keep and what he will release?[/size]
[size 1]My answer to all of these questions are a flat out NO![/size][/size]
