Nightcrawlers and poaching, they just go together.HaHa. Worms and reading the regs, not so much. Yo, xrun, there's only a handful of streams in east idaho that allow cutt harvest, even in season. Fish and Game is begging you to kill rainbows over on the South Fork, give Teton cutts a break and use a lure with the barbs nipped. As you said yourself, its easy fishin' (because 99% of us throw back those parasite infested Teton river trout.) Seriously, almost no one eats Teton river trout as the meat is full of yummy flatworms. They are safe to eat when cooked but so is hamburger with poop in it. Cooking doesn't make it more appetizing. Cooked poop is still poop. But that is the main reason the Teton is full of fish; hardly anyone likes the idea of eating black spot flatworms. The Teton, tho I do love to fish it, is a sewer full of septic tank and Ag runoff...I sure wouldn't actually eat the fish. Sky high levels of nitrates and phosphates.
