Wildcat Shoals On Sunday

[taxidermist]

we fished Wildcat Sunday, not our normal place but with the low water we thought somewhere else would be nice.

With the rain falling we hit the river, about 10AM the fish finally started biting, we both caught a lot of fish and one 15 inch Cutthroat.

We left as the temps started falling, it was a great day only boat in the area, there were several fly fishing the shoals, so we stayed above the shoals not to bother the fly fisherman.

Something I did that was different with the fish, was since the temps dropped I decided to go ahead and throw some ice on them and wait unti yesterday to fillet them. This really firmed the fish nicely and made filleting them so much easier.

I cut them like you would a bass and then depedning on size either cut the pin bones out or if smaller fish under 14 inches I will make a cut on each side of the pin bones and when fried the bones are cooked and you dont know they are there.
