[tycomps]

any truth to the rumor that the fall stock dined on velveeta at the hatchery?

[AndyS]

No, they fed the Mepps and Roostertails and some Rapalas.

Man, velveeta melted on anything...yum Good ole American processed cheeze. Fish food, well, have heard as much. A chunk in the pocket and you have both bait and a snack:p

So much good info in this thread.... LOL

I think Eddie perfectly described what they taste like though if you take them home soon after they're stocked.

True. The trout in the hatchery are actually well fed with pelleted fish food which contains a lot of fish meal.

In China and Vietnam, the fish are being fed turds!
Asian fish farmers are using pig feces and goose feces to feed the tilapia and shrimp being sold in your local grocery store! This is not only gross, but presents an immediate health hazard.
Here is an internet link with information about it:

What concerns me about this is in China where profitability takes precendent over any health concerns; if they are legally feeding the fish pig feces, you can almost be assured they are illegally feeding them human turds, also!

Hate to break it to you, but the same thing happens in the US.

Catfish in this country (wild) have a taste for turds as well!
