Being that these "altered" fish lack the "balls" of others I think a name needs to be applied.....Here are my submissions:

Paul Schell trout
The RattiFish
or Wayne Cody

Lets call them Gary Locke<s>

Hey, I wonder if he'll let Microsoft uproot and move out of state next? Haven't seen him display any nads since his political inception. Seems perfect for the Triploids....sterile and boring.


Disclaimer: Not trying to start a political debate with any Locke lovers, simply taking a free shot at him since I feel he is one weaka$$ sister. End of disclaimer.

the best name I'd have to say would be.... Gomer Pile(s)

I have caught a couple of holdovers in Benson lake that gave me a pretty spirited fight, but I can't be sure that they were the results of triploidy, and at least you had a big fish on. Try catching one of the sore mouthed rainbows at Rocky Ford, then whine. I'll still suggest a name though. How about Murrays (patty murray). Not good for anything but eatin food, poopin it out, and TRYING to look like your doing something. Sorry in advance for the potty mouth. Besides, I don't think Locke is sterile. Have a good one. Andy

Hey Andy,

I think only his personality is sterile. His actions speak for themselves about having a set of balls.

I know!Let's call them Reel Novices!!

Hey Mick...I knew someone would say that!! That's not fair, as Paul Schell said, " I am not a wimp."

I like the Murrays, but I think it has to be a male who gets this honor!

andy m, the benson lake your talking about is that in manson county by manson lake, if so know it well my grandfather has a cabin on the lake probably been 25years since i'v been there, doug

I have a suggestion for a name. How about we call them triploids. If it wasn't for triploids most westside lakes would just have more 8-10 inch stockers in them. And what would the complaints be then.

I caught one 25 inch bruiser this weekend that made some healthy runs. It took me about 7 minutes to get him in. He'd been in this lake for about 2 months now and the fight was different than a month ago. I'd caught others there of similar size. A month ago the fight was similar to the slugging style of Lenore's Lahontans. Now.. there's more power runs.

Also... very few Washington trout can compare to what's up in the BC Lakes. It's easier to get bigger fish up there and more of them.

Hi Saltine,
I feel your pain(in my best clintonese)and I can understand your issue with Locke. We could call 'em stones, ie. Can't get no satisfaction.
:p

Doug,
The Benson I am referring to is in Mason County (I do like manson county though, I think it gives a more accurate picture of the average Masonite). The lake is not too crowded, and there are lots o fish. A

I agree with Zen Leecher!

NOBODY IS UNHAPPY WITH THE TRIPLOIDS.......THEY ARE GREAT.............ESPECIALLY AFTER A YEAR IF THEY HOLD OVER, BUT THEY ARE LACKING TESTICULAR FORTITUDE!

I don't know about the fortitude part but certainly the testicular part is lacking. How about Eunies ( for eunichs).


As far as political names I vote for Billaries after the other Clinton. She sure wore the pants ( caust Bills were down most of the time) and of course the recent reports about her relationships.....

If it didn't give them publicity..I'd say name them E.L.F. Trout...........
