Hardly. I caught over 80 Rainbow Trout one day a few years ago and tossed all but two back. The two I kept where in the 2lb range and were great eating.
I love me some fresh-caught trout, fried with bacon grease.
My father was fishing the Oregon Cascade lakes since the late 1930’s. Knew where all of the best fishing holes were.
His best friend owned a float plane, and had a contract with the U.S. Forest Service in the late 1950’s - early 1960’s to stock the high mountain lakes with trout.
