Culling the mud hens

[gamefisher]

The best way I have found is to “gill” them alive so they bleed out, and then immediately on ice. Gut them and remove the head, and cook the whole trout in tinfoil on the grill. Having eaten more than a few this is the best way I have had it. Either with lemon/butter/herbs.

This.  But also place a piece of brown paper bag inside the tin foil same size for the oil fo absorb into, delicious.

They are also good pickled in wine sauce like herring. Probably the most likely way    would eat them. I bought a smoker and will try some in that along with whitefish.

Mostly, though ~ My dogs love them!!!

Now that's a nasty thought.

I have a 5 trap recreational lobster license and have had decent luck using them as lobster bait.

Google "Lake trout Boil".  It's how they do them in the Great Lakes.  Does a fantastic job of getting the oily taste out if you don't like that.

Then they can put in the bulk sharks to get rid of the seals.

And then bring in Jeremy Wade to get rid of the bull sharks!

There are some serious changes going on . In my 50ty years up north at camp on the Golden rd Caribou lake had feed in bird feeders for a month and not one song bird at feeder s no woodpeckers, nuthatches ,chickadees and many others no Bluejays. Nothing!!!!!!  Very troublesome

If our biologist had information and research on this article, they wouldn't have ruined the lake.
Most of you didn't fish the lake when there was many salmon over 5+ lbs. and plentiful whitefish in the
2-3 lb. range.

Too bad they didn’t go with steelhead instead

had birds all year at the feeder until 3 weeks ago, then it all stopped, nothing. it doesnt make sense at all to me

Ask what the P_H of the lake was back in the forties and check the PH now
