-

mmm... Rainbow Trout
-
They are less active in the heat of summer. so some of the best fishing for them is after the waters cool. but you can catch them all year if you know what your doing.
-
Yes you can catch em all year round, but with the lack of a completly built boat, fishing in lake Erie deep water is alittle hard. Its really lake trout, but everyone calls it Rainbow anyway. But it only safe to eat em around here towards fall. When there fatter. Only allowed to eat one fish a month up here. Otherwise you may become sick, but that hasnt stopped me. They put up better fights in the colder months too.

whats in those fish if you may get sick after one?

Lake Erie aint the cleanest lake. Its had a bad past and is finally coming around to being nice again. It was flamable in some parts bout 20 years ago. Some fish have parasites, others have stuff scientists dont know about. I can give you more details on whats in em later. My step dad is a marine biolgist that works for a company that does maps on contaminated areas in NY. I can then find out what is in em. I know that you dont eat any bottom feeders here eccept maybe 1 catfish a year. One of 2 public beaches is located next to a sewage plant, and after it rains the beach is closed because the plant overflows into the lake.

simpler is beter with rainbows-
they should be cooked with the head on, they just don't taste right if you cut it off before cooking.
gut them and squeaze a bit of lemon juice in the gut cavity.
roll the fish in a mix of flour, pepper, and a little salt.
then either pan fry, grill them (on a grill or a stick over the fire), or wrap in foil and set in the edge of the fire.

aha i see.. leftover from the daker days of the industry. was like that in some places here too in the 70-80's, but in the last 10 years or so they have had extremly strict rules. whats in the waters now are only the leftovers from that era that hasnt been cleaned out yet.

Yeah not bad, been eating them that way for a long time--trout is a staple around here tho most don't like the rainbows as they tend to be "white meat" fish and as such are bland when compared to the pink meat of a brown or a brook. Depends on what they are feeding on mostly.
Try this one:
4 med (3/4 lb) trout, cleaned, head on
2 tsps salt
1 cup vinegar, heated
4 cups water
1/4 cup dry white wine
sprig 'o parsley
1 lemon sliced
1 tomato sliced
Sprinkle inside of trout w about 1/4 tsp of salt. Set in a large platter and cover w/ hot vinegar (It will turn the trout blue). In a gal saucepan, combine water, rest of salt and the wine to a simmer. Carefully remove trout from platter and place in water and simmer (NOT BOIL) trout for about 15 minutes.
Take fish out of water and drain on paper towels. Serve garnished with the lemon, tomato and sprig of parsley.
If you want to almondine it a bit, slice up some almonds and dry cook in a small skillet til they start to brown and sprinkle on the fish after cooking.

Sierra's= may 1 to august 23?
I dont thin rainbow's would live in the great lakes. Lake trout would forsure and maybe some rainbow's but im pretty sure it is a lake dominated by lakers.

the place sucks for fishing.

I pulled 2 Rainbows of 4lbs.+ out of that lake on the same day. 3 pounders are common. It does get a might crowded in the summertime.
-
You can catch rainbow/trout here all year round. My first rainbow I caught was when I was maybe 6. I didn't have a fishing pole and my brothers did. So dad just to please me gave me a stick with a little bit of line and a hook with bubble gum for bait. I droped it right off the bank under a tree. No one expected me to catch anything. About 10 mins later I caught a 3 /12 pound rainbow.

Growing up I lived on a remote spring fed pond that they stocked with brown trout. All summer long it would look like it was raining at dusk.
I'd be out there until after dark catching 3 pound browns on dry flies.
-
caught a good many last spring in a nearby creek (18 mile creek). Our largest were around 24 inches. Didnt have a scale on us at the time. We were packing light beacuse the spot we go to aint to easy to do with 2 free hands let alone 2 full of gear. We dont eat the spring fish around here. We wait til late summer and fall to catch to eat. Still great fun tho.
