First on the ice at Chesterfield.

The last time I was up there and kept a trout, I decided it would be the last time I'd do that because it had a mossy taste. Have you noticed that as well?

 
I've heard that before, but I haven't ran into it. I like them big enough to fellet and completely de-bone. I hate bones and little trout and Kokanee. I didn't keep any this trip but they are usually exe!ent and so pink inside, almost red. Summer time is a different story. 
I fished in Utah for over 50 years and never caught a trout over 3 pounds. But my first time ice fishing Chesterfield,  the first year in Idaho, I got a 4 and 5 pound rainbow. I've loved it ever since.

It could also be the time of the year, back in those days, when things were cheaper, we use to come up there during the Summer, so it could have been a fish I caught there during warmer temp. It could be that during the Winter that mossy taste isn't there but for sure that lake goes produce some big fish,
