Very Nice Trout

[Bill Babler]

Don't know what has gotten into MDC, but there are some very nice trout in the Lake.

We are not catching huge numbers and in a 4 hr. trip, you have to kind of work at it, but the fish you do catch are really nice pink meaters.

I am convinced the Gulp Powerbait is by far superior to regurlar Powerbaits. I have been experimenting abit, and my clients with the Gulp, will out-fish the regular, in similar colors. All the other guides are reporting similar results. The Gulp is about twice as high, so it had better be worth it. I believe it is.

Orange and Charturse the usual culprits are the best.

Nice fish can be found from Lilleys' thru the Landing. Make the entire drift and you will catch a dozen to 15, and 10 of-em will be over a pound and a quarter up to a pound and a half. Great eating size.

Lots of jumping and cavorting around for these pink-meated rainbows.

I brought home some the other night, and Becky thought they were the best fish she had ever eaten bar-none. This includes Walleye, Halibut, Salmon and Sea Bass. Thats a mouth full and I had to agree. I ate 2 of them they were so good and got a belly ache.

Lots of boats and fishing prussure, but the fish are there.

Recipt;

4 Taneycomo Rainbows, Gilled and Gutted, with cavity cleaned and washed in fresh water

Chop fine 1/2 red onion, and small bunch of tops green onion. Chop fine small handfull fresh basil leaves, 2 cloves garlic and zest 1 large lemon. Purchase 1/2 pound small salad shrimp, and combine with mixture, adding 1 stick of melted salted butter.

Leave the trout whole with skin on. Dust the cavity with Tony Chasheries Cagin Seasoning and put 3 Table Spoons of mixture into cavity. Roast on a nice hot steak grill rolled in Tin Foil for 7 minutes per side.

When you remove the trout from the aluminum foil, the skin will stick to the foil. Unroll and gently take your fork and remove meat from the topside of the trout. Grab the head and lift. All the bones will come out with the head, leaving the stuffing and the trout sides. Sprinkle lightly with lemon and enjoy.

Good Luck

Very close to the recipe that i use. Only difference is that I use the cornbread stuffing mix like you use for turkey and mix the ingredients with that just like stuffing a turkey. Put the mix inside the cavity. What is left extra bake on the side of the fish outside the cavity.

This same recipe with a little different twist. Filet the fish and roll the filets abound the dressing and place a toothpick through the filet roll to hold it. Lay the fillets after in a baking dish side by side like you do biscuits. No bones and lots of flavor. MMMMMMM!

Thanks for the report.

Sounds like a really good idea when serving those that are squirmy about eating food that resembles its self. (sister in law )

Glad you guys are having fun. I told my boss he could pay me less money to fish all day. Still hasn't worked.

Glad to see you guides having fun at your job. Dont get me wrong, I like mine, Just wish I still worked for myself again.
