Mike B Thats how you learn everyone here does it. BTW Dollies smoke up great if your brine is done right.

So far on this board I have seen people post that Chrome Steelhead, Pinks,Chum,Sockeye ,Dollies, river caught Kings and Coho basically everything but salt Kings and Coho and Halibut taste like old boots.

My guess is they have little taste for fish in general or do not know how to cook or smoke.
