Mike,

I agree! They have got to be the WORST tasting fish there is! They are a lot of fun to catch but I would much rather have a Silver or Steelhead on my line! The last few Dollies I caught on the Quinault (in the mid '80s) just sulked on the bottom. They were like bringing in an anchor. A heavy wriggling one at that!

The most interesting one was when I hooked into a smaller one of about 7" and then had a 6 pounder eat the 7 incher! I had no idea they were that agressive until that happened! I wish I had had a camera when I caught them. There was about 2" of the smaller ones head sticking out the mouth of the large one.
