Question:
How much of a difference (if any) is there between hatchery rainbows and
wild rainbows with fly fishing?
Answer:
if you asked the question what's the difference between a farm raised animal
and a free range animal you would get a similar answer and in that framework
the answer might be self evident.
The wild fish look better, taste better are definitely smarter and generally
live in prettier places than stockers.
Stockers are still fish thought and fish are always fun to try and catch.
