Swan Creek

[Tightline]

Went over Swan yesterday mourning and there were hundreds of Buffalo (the fish) in the mouth.They were all in the 4-5 pound range and from a distance looked alot like White Bass.I wonder if they would be any good smoked or pressure cooked.I thought about grabbing some and takeing them to Beeson,I heard he would try anything once!!Kinda like Mikey.

The water in Swan didn't look so good,had alot of soapy looking bubbles floating.I'm not even going to report how I did fishing,too embarrassed.I guess I need to forget about Swan and start going to Roark creek, huh ,who would have thought.

I was fishing at Powersite early.

They eat pretty good. My grandpa would gut and scale them, remove head and fins and grandma would pressure cook them. Then grandpa would take the meat and mix it with cornmeal or breadcrumbs and egg and season and cook'em like salmon patties, yum!

Don't pressure cook em. Skin them like a catfish, cut them into pansize chunks, score the fish with a sharp knife. ie. make straight cuts half way through, along the rib bones. The meat will pull off the bone real easy, after its fried. Roll them in the same flour/batter that you'd use for crappie/bass/catfish etc. and fry em. You can do the same with carp. I've eaten buffets up north with em on it. Yummm
