Don't care for eating trout myself, especially large ones, but they are a put-and-take fishery. Unlike bass, which MDC for some reason can't see fit to help along with supplemental stocking.

Yeah, I'd as soon eat a large carp as a large trout.

We enjoy trout. I don't keep any brown trout but stocker rainbows are a diffferent story. The trout parks and urban trout programs fit the bill if we want fresh fish and no crappie/bluegill are biting☺.

I could not agree more! By the time they have been in the river or lake long enough to lose the Purina Trout Chow taste, they are either old and dead or too large to keep. Its like the difference between farmed salmon and wild caught salmon.
