chartpolski 24,828 Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 I had a rainbow trout for my tea today. I caught it at Keilder or Fontburn, I know they are stockies, not wild, but would they be classed as "farmed" ? Cheers. Quote Link to post

If it’s stocked it’s farmed it’s released at a weight that’s been attained through high protein pellets once released Into a wild environment it’ll loose weight and try eat anything if it’s a Triploid which has undergone treatment it packs weight being of no gender Quote Link to post

Charts, my mate from sunderland fishes there all the time, he is always sending me pics of his fish, there was nowt in there when I was a kid. And I heard they have stopped the free salmon fishing in Durham near the ice-rink due to lads ripping them with trebles. 1 Quote Link to post

Cheers. triploid has a very short lifespan can reach incredible weight in just a few yrs they might look impressive but the fat content and pale flesh isn’t no where near the wild version pretty much the same with all farmed things 1 Quote Link to post

I fish both of them regularly, but the best time to go is just after a big competition or charity fish, as they make sure they're well stocked just before. Keilder is allways good just after the Jack Charlton Charity Competition. Ive had some decent fish and big catches from both them, but also some blank days Cheers. 3 Quote Link to post
