White fish?

[katghoti]

I've said it thousands of times. Whitefish are necessary in the rivers and streams. In some places they are the only natives left. They are a great monitor for stream health. If the whitefish population drops due to water conditions, the trout aren't far behind. They fight hard, and can make a dull day exciting. I have caught them on nymphs and dry flies, and have had them jump once or twice. I have never eaten them, but return them all to the stream to fight another day. Montana has a blooming caviar business based on the whitefish and their roe is now sought after by culinary critics and restaurants. Their meat is smoked, makes good table fare.

Remember, if you throw them on the bank to die you are breaking the law. These fish are not rough fish, in fact they are cousins to trout. If you don't want them, return them.
