D Chapman said:I'd have to disagree there. The "farmed" fish here are grown in spring feed waters. Much of their diet is a protein "pellet", but they're still eating bugs and worms, etc...
There's not much taste difference, to me, between a Native and a stocked trout. The only difference I can tell is the muscle tone of the fish. When the stocked trout are first released, they're "floppy". But once they've been in the water a period of time, they become "firmer" or more powerful.
Right off the stock truck, those fish are no fun to catch. You hook them and they just follow your line in like a twig or a leaf. There is no fight. But if you hook into a Rainbow or a Brook that has been in the water for a while, that is when it's fun. I like to wait a few weeks after they stock and allow the older men and dad's fishing with children to dissipate from the area. That's when I move in. The fish have had a chance to firm up and really give you a fight. They've essentially gone wild.
If you catch a 12" Native here, you've caught a wopper. In order to get that 12" Native, you've got to fumble through all the 5" Natives first. That's why I no longer fish the area Walter fishes often. To me, those little 5" bait fish are no fun. I'd much rather catch a 10-15" stocked Rainbow or Brook out of the stocked waters and fight with him for a few. Whether I'm just catching to release, or catching to eat, I'd rather fuck with the larger fish over the Natives.
Discoinjapan said:Although their is probably no such thing as a native trout in the US anymore. They should probably be referred as stocked siblings.
(IMHO).

There are plenty of native fish up here in the mountains. Sometimes you have to hike to find them.
When I don't find empty corn cans and worm cups on the stream banks is where I start fishing.
