Mmm, fresh trout

[azguzzirep]

So, since I am head cook and chief  bottle washer these days, I asked my wife what shall I cook for us for dinner tonight?

She had no real answer so I suggested fish. She agreed. Well, over in Denkendorf is a trout farm. You can get fresh, albeit home grown, trout there. So I did!

I got one about 2lbs. Washed it, de-scaled it and cooked it in a casserole dish with some chopped carrots and sliced potatoes

Boy, was that sucker good!!

I normally cook them with a butter and garlic rub and red onion slices in the belly and served with rice. But, my wife nixed that.
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta  do.

Sorry, no picks.  We were hungry 😂😂!

You did good and I've never had a bad trout. So many ways to serve them but all tasty.....

you should take up fly fishing

[Tom]

 

[azguzzirep]

My flyrods are still in AZ😊

I LOVE fly fishing!

[flower_king001]

I keep trout in the freezer year round as i fly fish most of the time. My favorite would be to stuff the cavity with lemon slices, bacon and a small pad of butter. Wrap them in foil and place on the grill.

Scales on a Trout?

I'd think so?
EDIT: At least on a sizeable trout.

Wow, I kinda thought there might be others that like to fish here. Finally confirmed

The Silverberg stuff on the skin. I clean the skin thoroughly although I usually don't eat it. Depends on how it's cooked.

And I did put lemon slices over it along with carrots and potatoes.  I just forgot to mention it😊.

I love trout. I love all the trout relatives (steelhead, arctic char, grayling, and all the others). Two of the best fish dinners I ever had in my life were both in Yellowstone Park - one was farmed Montana Rainbow prepared almondine at the Old Faithful Lodge, and the other was cutthroat we caught at the east end of Yellowstone Lake and did up ourselves at the campsite.

My father-in-law and various of his next generation (sometimes me) would go up to Tuktoyaktuk and fish for char in the mouth of the Mackenzie every August - fantastic fish, fantastic experience. Mind you, these were not small trout - they were around 10-15 lbs, some higher.

Yee-haw, ITSec!

Let me drift a little bit here and talk about fishing in Germany.

It's bullsh*t. First, I'd have to go to ''fishing school". There I'd be taught all about knots and hooks and how to tell a boy fish from a girl fish and where the fish live and what a fish eats and on and on. And for this schooling I get to pay $150. AND, I have to pass a written test about all that stuff JUST to be able to get a fishing license.

The fishing license; So I pass the test and now can go to wherever it is to buy the license. This fishing license is ONLY good for the couple miles the Neckar river flows through Nurtingen. If I want to fish the same river in the next town, I have to buy THEIR license.

These are one year licenses and cost about.... $100!

So, I'm not going to be doing any fishing anytime soon in Germany .

sounds like gov. fishing......for your money

[flower_king001]

Here in TN it costs me right at $60 for license to fish trout.

As for "fishing school" well....I'm at school every time I'm at the river! :)

$50 out here but for every category that you want to fish in.

Nevada isn't horribly expensive, but it's messy and overly complex.

First, you need a license - $29 for a basic resident permit, $69 for non-residents. Next, if you're fishing the Colorado River or the reservoirs along it, you need to pay $3 more (that covers the Arizona side of the water). Then, if you want to use two rods, it's $10 more. Finally, if you intend to fish for trout, you need a trout stamp - for another $10.

The other question, of course, is why are you fishing in the middle of a desert?

[Tom]

You have to wait for the maintenance of the dam.  When they drain the Saguaro Lake you can get the big catfish.    No fishing rod needed. 

[Chuck in Indiana]

For old people..  over 62, I think.. Indiana has a "fish for life" license for a one time fee of $17, which includes a trout and salmon.

Catch and Release Wild Trout.

Emphasis on WILD. Fishing for stocked salmonids - Meh..

Generally I agree, but a healthy fishery can handle well-managed sport fishing. I am a big fan of slot limits that leave both the young fish and the fully mature breeders alone.

Motorcycle content - a good dual sport can be an effective way to reach fishing streams! My V-Strom took me on many a nice ride interrupted by some line-dampening...

I  don't fish as much as I used to, and you might say I'm a poacher, using ultralight spinning tackle instead of fly fishing gear.  But, I just never got there, so I use what I used for panfish and small bass.  When I lived in Pennsylvania in the early to mid 1980s, PA was trout-crazy.  Lot of creeks were stocked by DNR for put and take fishing.  I'd often hike down the steep stairs to the lovely Slippery Rock Creek, 35-40 miles north of my home in Pittsburgh.  Every now and then I'd hit it shortly after the hatchery truck had left.  Dinner assured!  I often made the trip to Slippery Rock riding my reintroduction to motorcycling, a 1983 Yamaha 750 Virago, carrying a pack rod and reel and a small box of Mepps spinners.  Or rigged with a couple of split shot ahead of a hook with salted minnows. 

Good memories!  Thanks for the reminder.

corn or salmon eggs work well too on ultralite spinning gear

Indiana has salmon? I just looked... I didn't know Lake Michigan had salmon.

Chinook as well as Coho salmon were introduced into the Great Lakes in the late 1960s. They're largely landlocked, treating the lake as if it were the ocean and spawning in tributaries to the lakes.

I would have guessed that salmon wouldn't have a chance against pike and walleye.

[JJ]

There is a Trout Farm in Oak Creek Canyon.  You catch 'em...takes about 2 minutes..they skin / gut 'em, wrap them for you...and you cook them yourself...

Or...you take them right down to The Heartline Cafe in West Sedona...and the chef there will make his famous, local, "Trout Almondine" Mmmmmmm...boy!

As well as steelhead on several of our NE Ohio rivers.  I think there is more than one strain that migrate from Lake Erie into the rivers at different times.  Not to mention the spring walleye runs on several NW Ohio rivers .... the Maumee comes to mind.  See if I can find a YouTube link of that carnival!  It's crowded, but it was always a good bunch of folks fishing .... most would reel in when they saw you had a fish on.  I lived in Toledo from 1978 thru 1982, and fished the Maumee every season.  Every now and then, though, the fish would cross three or four other lines, and everyone thought they had 'fish on.'  Here's a link ..... not me, but you'll get the idea.

Thanks JJ!  I got some Yelp reviews.  https://www.yelp.com/biz/rainbow-trout-farm-sedona-2?start=40  Seems the people that have problems with the farm.  Don't understand the concept of farm.

It's really for the kids / families...I only went there once...just to try it out...At least you know it's "FRESH!" 

There is nothing like fishing for trout in the wild, of course...aka "A River Runs Through It..."

[Tom]

I fish my friend's freezer.  He doesn't eat that much fish but enjoys catching them.  I suck as a procurer but work well as the cook.
