Nice to have you back, as one of the few, if not the only one, other
than me on here who thinks that eating the occasional trout is a good
idea.

AAMOF, I was just thinking this week I'd like to go yank out a few
stockers
for dinner one day. (...oh wait, you probably meant real fish.g)

Me too.

FWIW - I was browsing the CDOW web page. Apparently a few of the major
hatcheries are now WD free and they will, once again, be stocking millions
of catchable fish this year. The ones that make it to next spring should be
delicious. This is great news for all anglers here and don't kid yourself if
you think otherwise. There is a video link on the tremendous benefits of the
hatchery program to Colorado fisheries, which simply wouldn't exist here in
most places without it and which funds the research which protects what we
have and makes the indiginous recovery possible and more. If it weren't for
hatcheries, there'd be no rainbow trout, the once state fish, in Colorado
(So. Platte, Frying Pan, Roaring Fork..i.e. "The Front Nine"). And, they are
excellent smoked.

Your pal,
