Had 6 trout fillets left from Rockbridge. Grilling 2 for dinner, smoking 4. No recipe for smoked fish, but add salt until the brine will float a fresh egg, add spice. Don’t let it brine more than 4-8 hrs.
My squirrels are gonna get some too come fall. The little rats eat all of our tomatoes. Cost wise this was not to bad. $10 sheet of plastic cardboard & 3 rattle cans. The rest was laying around. Scrap pvc, dry cleaner hangers, rattle cans from other stuff. All fit in a plastic grocery bag.
A share in some Iowa farm land is a nice thing to have. Kept it simple food wise today. Kids had two activities each. STL Pork Steaks and Grilled Corn.
Nice Fish & Nice Boat. There are several good fly shops, and 2-3 fly fishing clubs, a smallmouth club, and several lake fishing clubs in the St. Louis area. Stop by Hargrove's Fly Shop on a Wednesday evening and introduce yourself when you get to town (BYOB).
Brown & down seems to rule on the Huzzah. Walking baits in the shade lines at times. That creeks get allot of pressure, and the fish can see everything. Long casts are required.
Did the Park to 34 float last Friday. Recon, with a friend because our wives and 12yr old daughter's were planning a girls only kayak float on Saturday. It changed a bit, but pretty boring and fishing flat out sucked (5 bass combined). Go right at the rootwads a bit below the old rockpile in the middle...bought half way down. The girls had fun.
