Was out to Elk Lake again on Saturday May 15.
Had 10 hits in 4 hours on Baitrix strip. Released
three between 1.0 and 1.5 lb and kept a 2.5 lb and
4.0 lb (22 inch) rainbow. I am part way through
eating the 4 lb fish. It does have a slight algae
(muddy?) taste but with sauces, etc. this can be
minimized. The taste varies through the year and
even two fish caught the same day may taste differently.
They seem to taste worse during heavy algae blooms like
this past couple weeks. When the water clears up the
fish seem to taste better.
