Many people do like them, and other people like them smoked. I don't mind, if I ever keep a fish there are plenty of landowners to take them. Gotta stay on their good side!
If someone likes Steelhead, more power to them. I just don't think they know what good fish tastes like...
I said the same thing to one of my fishing buds last fall when we were trading up steelies for mudsharks on the stringers. He loves them silvers deep fried.
What area are you catching them at? Are they fresh or holdovers?
