Do rainbows from pot hole lakes taken in the winter have that muddy taste? This summer I was out at east pit and my rainbows tasted like mud. Do they taste like that in the winter? Ive heard cleanin them and freezeing them for a couple weeks gets rid of the muddy taste, what do you guys think.
The quality of fish is better in the winter time. The meat is a brighter pink and taste good. I heard that on way of of preparing the fish is soaking the trout in 2% milk to help absorb that muddy flavour.

I cleaned some rainbows from a pothole lake (around Edmonton) last weekend and there stomachs contained alot of plant matter. I have also found alot of snails in them in the past so Im guessing that they ingest the plant as when they eat the snails. A guy might as well cook up a handfull of "seaweed" because thats what the end result tastes like. They are fun to catch and release and I have to do something until the deer start shedding their antlers.
