Must be feeding them lemon-butter pellets or garlic-butter flakes

I still like to wait at least a week to give the fish a chance to acclimate a little and have a chance to feed on REAL fish food before catching one.

What surprises me is that the vast majority of trout that are caught and eaten are farm raised hatchery fish. I doubt anyone has had the chance to eat a trout in all it's natural glory. When you see a trout fillet that is a light pink instead of a rosey red, imagine just what flavors you are missing out on?

Just an observation...

I am a legend in my own mind!
