I used to catch so many crappy with corn and crickets at duke power state park on lake norman back in the day. I need to go do some fishing.

[Absolutely!]

You don't like trout. ???

What's wrong with them? Is the river mucky?

I used to shoot gar with a ruger 10/22 using a 50 round drum mag and a BMF Activator. But I agree with the words of fictional Ron Swanson. Fish, for sport only, not for meat. Fish meat is practically a vegetable.

I've killed a bunch of turtles with a .22lr, most fun with open sight rifles and hand guns. Works on a skill I like to be good in.

I'm going fishing tomorrow, hoping to get into some crappie. But any and all fish are welcome to bite.

Filletted, crappy and bluegill are really good.

My property backs up to a creek. Other states would call it a river. It's full of small mouth bass, steelhead, rainbows and perch. I just got my first fly rod. I plan on learning how to use it back there.

Catching a fish on a fly rod is fantastic. Get into tying your own flies is fun too. Making foam bugs is easy and fun.

I've been fishing forever. I used to fish tournaments in Florida until I moved. I've fished all over the place, but never with a fly rod.

Believe it or not, I prefer salmon over trout. Not much difference in taste I suppose, but . .

I love trout but I agree, salmon is even better.

[Absolutely!]

Trout fishing at lake Taupo is a treat over here, and trout is a special flavour of fish. I have noticed though that fish caught in lake rotorua are disgusting; they taste like dirt and pond weed. The ones at Taupo are clear and fresh and delicious.

It's a strong, oily flavour, well suited to hot smoking on the side of the lake in a portable smoker with manuka chips and big thick slabs of white bread slathered in fresh butter.

mmm. don't hold the salt, either.

^^Sounds delicious. Forgive my ignorance Abs, but do you get salmon down there?

We have both trout and salmon but they're introduced.

I really enjoy both - but then I love eel too, and it's a similar sort of oily 'give me salt' experience.

Trout is best enjoyed, actually, with a carrot sauterne sauce.

Boil some carrots (skinned) in chicken stock for an hr and put through a moulee. reduce slowly and with love pouring in a sweet sauterne as you go. Take another hour over it.

This for some reason cuts the oil out of the trout, tones it down, and yet is a gentle and delicate foil for it. The carrots are a mild flavour - and trout has quite a delicate flavour under that oil So it just sort of simplifies and lightens the experience.

It's like the way apple sauce (or pear sauce, whatever you're into) has a calming effect on pork.

I like to just pour French dressing over salmon filets and bake them in the oven.

Weird. I like fish sauce on french toast....
