I work in a trout hatchery. We turn all of our trout into females so they look better for the meat market. Those fish are sterile fish that cannot reproduce.

Don't want to hijack your thread (I also enjoy fishing for catfish down here in Utah.), but I would like to hear the process your hatchery uses to "...turn all of our trout into females..."
I am surprised there isn't a limit on catfish in Idaho. I have fished in Utah for over 50 years and there has always been a limit on them (current limit is 8).
