Are trout this year safe for consumption?

[Carpin'102]

Rarely keep fish but I bring one home every year as a little treat! With all of this disease business in the trout this year I wondered if they could be harmful. Thanks for any info.

Eating the trout will only be harmful to the trout.

Where did you see the trout looking like month old Salmon? At the meeting a couple of weeks ago they didn't mention any discoloration of the fish.

The meds will be out of their systems by stocking time, and even if there were any disease left in them (which there ought not to be) it cannot infect humans because our bodies are 20+ degrees above lethal temp for the bacteria. Should be perfectly safe to eat.
