I hope this doesn't strike people as funny but I catch about 500 to 700 trout per summer and don't keep a one. I used to work for EDS and had a couple of long stints in Ecuador and "got used" to eating see bass, I also eat tuna when I travel to Boston and ate a lot of mahi-mahi and wahoo when I lived in S. Florida. I also buy the "shrink wrapped" fresh frozen salmon at Costco. After eating all this fish, trout just "doesn't do it for me!" I do like walleye (if I could only catch some [
]) and perch and will definitely eat those fish if I catch them but that's it.
Actually, I have been lately considering finding a friend that likes trout and keeping a few sub-14 inchers out of the Provo in hopes of fattening up the bigun's! Anyone out there like trout and live in Heber??? [
]
Now an interesting point that has been brought up... smallmouth bass. I always release but I am under the impression they are about as good as perch! However, I have always felt it would be looked down upon to keep them? I kind of feel like some of y'all think keeping a few of the small ones might improve the fishery... in this case Jordanelle. Should I eat a few 12 inchers?
