Ever catch one of these?  I have only caught this one Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), in Pickerel Narrows in June of 2009.

Didn't even know what it was when I caught it.  Thought it was a short-nosed redhorse, using a fish ID key my buddy had along.  (So much for it  helping ID fish!)

They said they were whitefish and I threw back what they considered to be one of the best tasting fish. I have had smoked whitefish and they are tasty.


The ONLY way they are good is smoked.  Full of bones and you would be warned to hold your nose once you cut into one.

Hey Joe -- 

Early one dark February morning many years ago, as I drove north to go ice-fishing in Minnesota, the truck ahead of me clipped a deer and it kept on going.  I stopped and walked up to the deer lying in the road with a broken neck.  I called a warden, got a permit to take the deer, hauled it off the road and dressed it, and took it home. 

Friends laughed and said the deer would taste awful on account of all the twigs in its diet this late in the winter.  How wrong they were!  It was the best road kill I've ever had!  Very good venison!


I know this is off topic, but your picture and caption recalled this event.

Whitefish are delicious.  I love em smoked, but baked and fried are also good. Rich, white meat.

They eat twigs all year round, so I'm not surprised your venison tasted good.

You're welcome to come up and show your love of the local fauna anytime. But this area is bow-hunting only: I know that excludes guns, and I'm pretty sure it excludes 4x4's too.

Ran across this or something like it while cleaning my desktop. YMMV...

Interesting read.... I think it's the same.
