[VFB] Fish oil

[Dr. Doug Miller]

Now here's a question for the list. Since all fish stocked into Blue River in Oklahoma have been fed fellets which are infused with fish oil (sardine, salmon, etc.) is it ethical to soak a nymph in sardine oil and fish with it?  The local marine biologist is recommending that the bait chunkers mix fish oil into their dough bait.  Made me wonder how many flyfishermen are doing the same with nymphs?!?   BTW - another Oklahoma nuance:  people are encouraged to KEEP what they catch since there is no possible way for the fish to survive much past mid-April.  The water gets far too warm for them to survive.   And you didn't believe me when I said I was in a trout void!   Doug
