Only trout that I actually “liked” was these football size brookies that we caught in the Marble Mountain wilderness by the Oregon border…. Bright pink meat…. They were excellent…. Disclaimer…. We were also consuming large volumes of powdered Gatorade and vodka, ymmv 👍🏻
Yep, I’ve had brookies from the Marble Mountains in CA to The Winds in WY and they are the best. Of course, they are a char and not a true trout. I’ve not found much you can do to a hatchery rainbow to make it very palatable to me.
