Catch & Cook AZ Pond Catfish & Trout! (Safe to Eat?)

Urban Arizona pond fishing for trout and catfish! These ones we put to the taste test. I know not everyone thinks you can eat out of these ponds but these fish are stocked for just that!
The trout had been in here no longer than a week, and the catfish about a month. As long as eaten in moderation these fish are just fine to eat. Even more so when you fry them and make fish tacos!
I hope you all enjoy this catch and cook because I am wanting to do more of them here soon. Urban Arizona has some great fishing, and the fish can be mighty tasty.
Arizona trout fishing in these urban ponds have just begun! Be sure and get some while they are still around.

A great recipe for rainbow trout is to toast some almonds in a dry frying pan until browned. Remove them, add some butter and heat until the bubbles settle. Fry your trout until cooked. Add your almonds back with a generous squeeze of lemon and some parsley and you have an amazing French classic 'Trout Almondine'. Deeeeeelicious!

There is nothing better than a fresh fish shore lunch. Be blessed. My friend.

You know it! Thank you 🙏🏼

I've been hitting the Lower Salt during the winter months when I can't get up to the rim lakes. I recognize this park, maybe 2 miles from my house. Thank you for showing us this man. For sure hitting these up when the restock returns.

[@Doubleliprippin]

Dude I love these videos! I fish the salt all the time. Let me know if you want to go with sometimes I’ve got a couple 30s 🥂

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Glad you like em man! I’m sure I’ll see you out there then forsure. Most my trips are last minute

[@Carlton-ht3hr]

Awesome catch bud what pond is that I ever been to that pond

[@JohnsonSaUceZach]

I actually run that same setup with the gx2 and sienna on my bait trout rod.

[@TheFishinMagician20]

It’s a great setup! Had mine for years

[@user-iy3de9tf6o]

Is there anything against cleaning the fish at these community ponds/parks? Looking to do my first catch and cook soon and couldn’t find any guidelines on this.

[@TheFishinMagician20]

There was something about it in the regs but not sure if it was specifically for the ponds.

[@krowbar1969]

Hey bud, great video…. But I never gutted a fish for a fillet, only when I was gonna cook the whole fish…

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Yea it was more for the video sake to show people how to do it . I usually just filet real quick

[@SouthwestStet]

Hey Mark, which pond is this?

hey man i’ve been trynna find more fishing spots and i want to catch a trout and catfish for my pond and i was wondering where this pond is?

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Illegal to transport live fish here brother from one body to another. Your best bet is going through an online dealer

[@gr4s5h0pp3r6]

@@TheFishinMagician20 it’s for my own purposes as pet keeping it’s legal you just can’t transfer one animal from another body of water owned by the city or state without a stocking permit license

They stocked Mansel with trout but nothing was biting. Weird.
