When I was a little baby of 14-18 years My Parents lived on a good sized
lake, in Colorado. I spent a lot of time fishing there.
there were Channel cats Walleyes, Northerns ,Trout and Crappies in the
Lake. I remember liking the Crappies the best. The Catfish were never
Muddy tasting , and would never bite on stink baits. Crawdads and worms
were the best baits Minnows worked too.

The trout in shallow lakes in Wa. Get a muddy taste in the summer maybe
this is the same with the Catfish a few have mentioned.

I still Fondly remember my Teen years of sitting around a bonfire ,
drinking beer with a bunch of Dumb Asses and
Catching catfish at night.
