    The 17"-19" fish are good eating. I like to bake or poach them. The big ones are best smoked, but finding ZigZag papers big enough is a problem.







    Great trout and great photos. Shame we didn't have Cutthroats introduced here. We did have Mackinaw introduced but unfortunately the truck taking them to a selected lake crapped out and the young fish were released into a shallow lake by the roadside. Lake Pearson in Canterbury. They seem to be extinct there now but were caught for many years in small numbers and never attained the size of their progenitors
