As as avid trout angler for more than 20 years, I feel it's important to make a distinction between stocked trout and native trout. Many anglers call a trout a trout and to me this isn't at all the case. Most of the trout that are caught in this country have been placed there by our government for our enjoyment. These trout weren't born, as nature intended, in the waters that they're caught out of. They were born in a glorified aquarium, and then "stocked" or placed into any number of bodies of water. These trout that are placed in any number of bodies of water are stocked trout. On the other hand trout that were born naturally, the way nature intended and then grow up in said water are native trout. For my purposes a trout that is stocked and then survives naturally for 4 or 5 years, then becomes a native trout as well. Stocked "fingerlings" that then grow up into catch able trout would obviously be considered native in my twisted world.
The stocked trout that I personally have a problem with are the "finless wonders" that get stocked throughout the entire country. These are the trout that have grown to catch able size in tanks and are then released to be caught. Since these trout are raised in tanks with thousands of other trout, their fins get rubbed off, thus creating "finless wonders". To me this is tantamount to those "hunting preserves" on which animals are released, with the express purpose of being killed by some jag-off. The only difference is that in the case of these stocked trout, they're fish instead of animals, and I've been known to be the jag-off!
In all seriousness, that's the difference and when you catch both a stocked trout and a native trout and hold them side by side, you can definitely tell the difference. The native trout are much more beautiful and their colors are much more brilliant. In my humble opinion, native trout fight much harder than stocked trout as well. Large native trout are much more difficult to entice into biting as well. All in all when compared equally, in terms of beauty, fight, challenge to catch, and of course taste, native trout are hands down my favorite of the two.
And, just for reference this is coming from an angler who doesn't wave feathers back and forth in an attempt to catch trout. My mentor had a real disdain for flea flicking and I carry on that torch! I attempt to catch these beautiful fish the way God intended, with a set of gang hooks and live bait. This doesn't change the fact that I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for the beautiful creature known to all of us as the trout. No matter what, don't forget what Steven Wright said of all of us anglers, "There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore looking like an idiot."

Fly Tying with Common Household Materials $17.54 How to save money and get better results--including 300 full-color photos The novice fly fisherman starts fly tying with a predictable set of materials. His bench is neatly arranged with small bags of elk hair, pheasant feathers, stray pieces of chenille and yarn. But eventually he finds that not only are these materials more expensive than they need to be, they are also largely unnecessary. And so he starts making substitutions, using trial and error to gradually build up a bench of funky, personalized materials that work just as well as what the "experts" recommend. For the first time, here is a book that truly demystifies fly tying, making it accessible to any fisherman with a vice, a hook, a few dabs of glue, and a handful of twisty-ties. Tying legend Jay "Fishy" Fullum brings together a lifetime of substitution experience to give invaluable advice on appropriate substitution materials. He describes how to find them and make them tier friendly, and how to turn them into flies that are practically guaranteed to catch fish. |
