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
