Whitefish are really good. People love walleye, but it's just really mild. I like northerns more. Along the same lines, I prefer haddock to cod. If that makes sense it's a good comparison. I haven't had land locked salmon.

I have to eat everything once. Whatever you do, don't grill the lake trout. I thought I had a really bad fish or something, so I did it again. Not good. I eat a lot of small panfish and usually catch and release anything else. But I try and eat things first just to see how they are.

I really, really, really want to catch a whitefish on champlain. I don't know if it will happen sans 4 wheeler. It sounds like you have to get far out there and get lucky.
