Wild Rainbow Trout

Catch and Release
We catch a lot of Trout over a season. We practice “catch and release” : Use barbless hooks. Play each fish just enough to be able to unhook it safely. Make sure the fish is fully revived before gently releasing it.

So we release most of the fish we and our guests catch. These are wild stocks but trout populations in our area waters are very strong. Our lakes are rich in all variety of trout foods. Among the aquatic and terrestrial insects and other little creatures that trout eat, freshwater shrimp (Hyella and Gammarus) are a trout food staple.

Eating freshwater shrimp makes trout flesh taste rich and delicious. It also turns the meat the colour of a lobster in a boiling pot.
