Only fish worse than Trout are Grinnel (aka Bowfin, Cypress Trout) for eating. Them Trout rot about as fast as Shad, probably make good Catfish bait. lol lol
We always said to cook Trout a fresh pile of cow dung wrapped over Trout tossed in a bed of coals till done. Remove the dung , toss Trout in fire , eat baked cow dung.
