Colorado to Poison All Fish to Eradicate Smallmouth

[know1]

Probably for the taste eating them. There is no doubt that rainbow, brown and about all trout are just delicious.

Now I eat smallmouth and they are just too much fun on the end of your line, but do not compare to fresh rainbow trout.

Trout are pretty far down my list in terms of fish to eat.

I get the attraction of matching the hatch, outwitting them into biting, etc., but the ones I've caught have been terrible fighters.

Trout are like catching wet dish towels. They taste like shoe leather. These purist dudes with all their high end gear and fancy clothes with heir pinkies stuck out make me wanna take a chit...

Mark, wild trout will fight as hard pound-for-pound as any fish out there. Those trout in the Rocky Mountain west are nothing like the trout we catch here. IMO if the people of Colorado don't want a non-native fish in their waters, that is their right. Besides, it isn't like we are going to go out to Colorado to fish for smallies when we have bigger ones in their native range right here.

If you say so Tim, lol....

I just bet that if trout invaded our reservoirs, you smallmouth fans would want everything to be eradicated. I can see where there coming from anyway.

I would welcome it. Nothing blows up Smallmouth and largeheads more than trout. Trout is food for real fish, lol....

Seriously? You think smallmouth guys want trout gone? Have you ever been to Dale Hollow compared to other smallmouth fisheries that don't have trout? Those of us who enjoy chasing them ol' brownfish pray that our local reservoirs become infested with smallmouth bait, I mean trout

That's what I was thinking too.

Try dragging a steelhead in, especially one over 10 pounds. Of course with a 6 ft rod and 20 pound test line, nothing fights.
