Is it normal to leave the skin on a trout to cook it? Or should it be removed, some of the trout I have are 'so' small.

Well, the skin is good and healthy. If you are going to fillet, the skin will fall off of the meat when you cook it and imparts no bad flavor.

Ok, I'll bite, does Skippers need some schooling on proper fish treatment?  It makes me green in the gills just thinking about those poor fish... baited into beleiving that they'll be treated finely.

yes nematodes are common in fish, so dont be alarmed. they are natural parasites to fish. if your fish has them in, its best to remove them before cooking. if you do not and especially if you do not cook the fish well enough to kill these worms, then they are likely to infect you. you now probably have worms in your gut.

Fish are subject to a variety of maladies, such as grubs or worms, which may be found in or on the skin, attached to gills, or embedded in the flesh. Although aesthetically displeasing, none of these parasites presents a threat to human health provided the fish is thoroughly cooked before it is eaten.

WOW, BETWEEN THIS AND PULLING YOUR OWN TEETH, COOKING FOR THAT GIRL WONT BE A BIG DEAL. IS THE ARES DISCOLORED? I KNOW THEY HAVE THAT BLEACHING CREAM TO EVEN OUT COLORS SO MAYBE THAT WILL HELP. SORRY I DONT KNOW ANY MORE THAN THAT. TAKE CARE.

I am not really familiar with mountain river fishing, but I'll go out on a limb and say that if there isn't a lot of catfish, then maybe the water is too cool where you are fishing.Cats are warm water lovers for the most part (unless you are fishing for blues in the winter) so maybe try a river system that is a little warmer.A writer, who was obviously smarter than me, cause I can't recall his name, said that catfish and trout don't mix, so if you are fishing a trout stream, try fishing farther downstream where the river warms up.

hey there!\n\nI live in alaska and i know a man was in Homer, Alaska on vacation - think it was last year and he caught one that was over 500lbs. He sold it and made enough from the sale of meat to pay for his whole vacation. Don't remember his name but you could ask The Anchorage Daily News\n\ni caught a 176lb one before and it was small\n\nakfriend

I enjoy fishing but seldom do. I really don't care if I catch anything because I don't care to eat fish unless someone else that knows what they are doing cooks it. It is peaceful and relaxing to go.

Well, you can give in and eat the bass that you catch, or you can do what I would do.  I do not like to eat fish, but if I did, I would get it from the grocery store.  And then politely explain to the people who are harvesting the bass, that it would be more beneficial to the fish population, as well as the other fisherman to practice catch and release.  After so many bass are removed from the lake, there will not be many fish to catch, or eat in their cases.  I get highly P.O.'d when I see fisherman taking home bass to eat.  Especially since most of the lakes I fish in are under a "big bass program", which means that the only fish left are little ones.  You see, all the people who have fished there in the past, have taken all the nice bass, leaving only small bass.  Now the fishing sucks.  I would say something if I was you, otherwise you won't have good fishing, and you WILL have to go somewhere else.  Good luck, and tight lines.

If its brownes he's after, I would recommend,on the point, black and peacock spider,blea and black,coachman,mallard and claret,peter ross and silver butcher.For nympth patterns use pheasant tail,stickfly and shrimp. Middle fly needs to be flashy ie,dunkeld wickhams fancy.Top fly needs to be a bushy fly that you can dibble across the surface waves like red palmer or zulu.In summer a small muddler works wonders.Small single dries will work in late evening.If fishing from the bank dont cast to far,try to fish at 45 deg in front and work your way along the bank.Dont forget to keep the rod up .Brown trout take from below and will not chase a fly like rainbows.As the fish will manly small its best to use light gear no5/6 weight lines a long rod is useful about 10ft it is also long enough to use on a boat. Hope this goes some way to helping you out  only wish I could be with him as well.Best of luck and tight lines.

Cut the line. The hook will dissolve in the fishes stomach or digestive tract. If it is stuck in the gills and bleeding you might as well pull it out cuz he's as good as dead. If you are fishing in a strictly catch and release lake, river or pond then I would definitely cut the line cuz you might get in trouble for riping out the fishes guts. When you rip out the hook the fish dies. Tell your hubby to knock it off and buy some new hooks!!! Happy Fishing

There are lots of recipes here. Most of them don't require cooking. \n\nMy tip is to go easy on the salt: it's nasty on the skin. :)

you should go to a doctor and find out if their are more worms. obviously there is something growing inside you and thank him for helping you to expel one, was it wrapped around or did you just release in the john.what is banged? never heard this expression before, while being intimate with someone I care for.

there is a dry nutritional meal made with the left-overs from the slaughterhouse ... the dry meal is protein rich and is fed to trout in trout farms. you don't throw it in fresh-cooked ... the drying process gives the meal a longer shelf-life.

Yes,overall the catfish is the least picky. Then again sometimes small fish like perch,bluegill will "steal " your bait  or if your  careful  that's what you catch. But  you better off to go to an offbeat area that's not all "fished out". Ive read that the bottom feeders carry  a lot of parasites, toxins ect... But I  go to  small streams away from the  areas where they would ever be fished. There are some  great small bass ect.. just waiting for the first minnow or worm to  be thrown in!

Just a little FYI.  ANY food that comes from plants, such as flour, corn(even canned) pancake mix, bread, etc. will have small traces of bugs in it.  Disgusting, I know, but this is mandated by the US FDA.  A certain percentage of bugs and debris are allowed into our food.  I don't remember what the percentage is right now, though.  I saw this on dateline a while back.
