Trout are not my fav to eat. But if you have a chance to catch them out of a stream or river I would much rather have those than from a lake. I have caught lots of them on Laurel Lake and baked, broiled and deep fried them-they all were terrible. I have caught them from cumberland river below the dam and in cherokee nc and fixed them the same way and they were much better. I know it sounds crazy but its true. Later......smoke
