I’m always seeing some cool picture in outdoor magazines and on websites of people doing the foil packet or cast iron thing with some lemon, butter and fresh herbs or whatever, and it looks amazing… but yeah I’ve heard they’re usually not the best eating

It's because browns and quality brown fisheries are becoming more and more rare. I'm all for eating the stocker put-and-take 12 inch rainbows, but I really hate to see wild trout (or at least semi-wild) get taken from the stream.
I know people obey the legal limits and whatnot, but even those limits are often too high to maintain a quality river.
