I havn't eaten any from BC as I don't fish for them here, but I did eat a few hachery rainbows caught in Albertan lakes and they don't taste anything like the fresh run salmon I catch here in BC. Flesh is soft and mushy and also have a slightly muddy taste to it. I doubt the ones here in BC are much different.

"....if im gonna kill it, im gonna eat it"

I completely agree.

No real point of comparison, but I don't think they taste bad. Could be in my head, but I swear they taste better as the water gets colder... I knew I should have kept that cuttthroat I got at Joffre Lake, then I'd have something to compare it to.

The rainbows that r coloured from eating a lot of scuds taste way better. Has a more salmon flavour. Of course this only happens in lakes that has enough calcium in the water for the scuds to for their shells.

Out of the hundreds of trout I have caught out of Mike lake....I haven't even kept one. The only ones I've eaten and absolutely loved eating are the ones from the interior.  :)

I've eaten the rainbows from Green timbers and found the smaller 230grams fish taste a whole lot better than the larger ones.  The larger the fish, the more earthy taste it gets

The rainbows from stocked lakes are not supposed to taste good, as they were fed pellets until they were released.
