Not a dumb question most people think of them as squaw type fish but they are not. Squaw fish will eat everylast egg in the redds if given a chance. this is why a lot of fisheries have bounties on them If i'm correct the columbia still has a bounty on them. As all fish white fish will eat eggs but it isn't there main source of food, they eat a lot of insects. Everytime I hook one while steelhead fishing they hit like a freight train to get your blood pumping, then all done time to real in dead weight. I have eaten squaw fish chillie before and i would rather eat tree bark.This might be a dumb question, what exactly is a whitefish? I always thought they were the same thing as squaw (or pikeminnow) and I would definitely not eat one of those. But now I'm thinking I may have been confused all this time.
Throw them on the bank!!
Just for the record, I didn't say to kill the "trash" fish. I only said that's what I USED to do, and it was due to how I was raised.
I only said that I personally would not find it in me, to eat one.
I have caught and released literally dozens of those fish in recent years. Maybe I didn't make that clear enough earlier.
