[cool][#0000ff]My opinion is that they are fun to catch and they have helped bend my stick on days the trout were scarce or sulking. I grew up playing with them along the Snake River, in my native Idaho, so I always have a soft spot for them. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Yeah, they are not flashy fighters, and they don't jump, like rainbows, but neither do cutts. They are not as tough as browns, and not nearly as purty, but they can provide some pleasant exercise.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I also like them on the table. They are good smoked too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Do they compete with trout? Of course. They eat the same diet so obviously if the stream is full of whities there is less food for the trout. The upside is that their younguns help feed the larger browns.[/#0000ff]
