Been many years since I ate a stocked trout from anywhere’s. I have lots of salmon, halibut and lingcod from the ocean to eat.

However last time I ate one I did the typical fillet, marinade in Kraft golden Italian salad dressing and bake or BBQ.

I’m not super picky and it was fine.

In Alberta the stocked ponds tend to make trout with a muddy or sulphur tinge to them… likely due diet switching from pellets to chironomids.

Lots of pellet fed trout Superstore. Haven’t eaten one of those ever.

Yeah we have the same issue here with taste so if and when I do keep them they go on the smoker most get tossed back in

How long have they been in the pond? Most of the ones they stock up here are pretty small,way smaller than those. Do you fish from the shore or? Beauty fish and great pics. Made my day.

These were stocked a couple weeks ago. Went out for 2.5 hours. Caught 50 and spent time paddling the power canoe.

Few days ago caught 100.

It’s like shooting fish in a barrel but somehow satisfying to catch one after another.

Going to get more today.

Good eye.

Top one was stocked a year ago. Two bottom ones are just stocked but they are only a year old. Fast growth in 12 months.
