I grew up in Detroit Lakes, MN but have been in ND since 1986. I have noticed and my Dad commented many years ago that when cleaning Sak walleyes they are much "greasier" (harder to hang on to) that the MN walleyes that we were used to. I attribute that to there diet of smelt, etc. Anyone else have similar experience? I think they taste just as good but maybe a little richer in oils.

Quite a few years ago, we caught some bluegill/sunfish through the ice on Raleigh Reservoir. Also caught rainbow trout at Fish Creek Dam through the ice. In both cases, the fish tasted muddy and I attribute it to all of the agricultural run-off. The only thing to do with the trout is to SMOKEM!
