Please don't take it the wrong way. Do what you want. I'm just saying ya know.......
ya i know what ur sayin. when i fish for rainbows i take only 12" minimum

otherwise its catch an release. for bass its catch and release unless hooked bad

shad is catch an release.

the little pan frys are my twice a yr splurge, guilty as charged but..... there r so many in those mountain streams(trickles of water 2 feet wide and 4-6 inches deep) one could net em with a butterfly net.As always, government stats are off. or are indicated in the more populated areas. Also the decrease in trout population is more attributed to the growing population of Small mouth bass but more so the take over of pickeral in our fresh waters.

that sounds great, although very sweet with all that sugar n syrup in it
i usually prefer my trout or salmon plain, just simply grilled with a touch of butter or oil. trout is also fantastic when stuffed with chopped spring/salad onions and orange segments, with some fresh dill if you have it.
oddly, i eat most of my salmon and trout raw/cured, either in the form of sashimi/sushi or as gravadlax or other cured fish...

The headwaters of the Savage River in Western MD has a number of unnamed feed streams. Most are as you describe and on a nice, Spring time afternoon you can catch 50+ of these little beauties. I never thought about frying them up, but I suspect most don't survive the dry summer months. A real blast on a tiny 3 weight rod and light tippet.

Trout candy with all that sugar. I bet that would be great in a smoker!

I have other recipies for making trout candy...Schmitz Bitz (my forum handle) comes from Schmitz Bitz Smoked Seafood Products (BC1906PP); my first company. Speaking of which, it is just about time for me to bust the smokers out of storage for a couple of runs. Thinking I might play around with both hot- and cold- smoking sturgeon this year for something different - I found a cheap source for them farmed, and if they take off like the Pacific Octo I did up last year, I might just fathom dusting off this business model for some full-time lovin', rather than the bi-yearly orders I am currently taking.
If anyone has any interest, I am Federally licenced to ship both extra-provincially and internationally and should have a product/pricing list up in the next couple of months as I start to source my early season product. Currently producing to order (I still have my commercial smokers, but no commercial cold-storage unit), minimum orders of five lbs increments. Most of the seafood I source is from sustainable stock; be they Ocean Wise, SeaChoice, or aquacultured.
