first rainbow trouts

[Brian A]

Made some new fishing buddies.  Couldn't have caught these without their Aloha.  One shared the color they were biting and another shared the right leader size. 

Was a great morning.

nice going  jaybri. One of my favorite fish to eat.
Thanks for sharing.

[Brian A]

Thanks. Care to share a recipe? I'm just gonna fry these.

[Alto Mare]

Mine is probably unusual, because it is chilled.
Just in case you want to give it a go, I steam the trout and remove meat from the skin and bones.
I place the meat in a bowl, I'll add some good quality olive oil, lemon juce, alittle salt and pepper, one or two crushed garli and a handful of chopped italian parsley. Toss it and place it in the fridge for a little while.
You will really get the full flavor this way.
If you'll try it, let me know if you like it.

Sounds good. I'll let you know.  Gonna try tomorrow again.  This lake is only 15 min from home!

[Ron Jones]

What lake is that?

First:  Sal's recipe sounds great!!    2nd:  nothing wrong with frying them.  If camping you can always thread them on a stick or skewer and rotate them over the coals.  Or place them in foil with a little butter and spices of your choice, wrap them tightly and place near the coals rotating them often.  I like to smoke them.  I'm not sure there is a bad way to cook trout--except overcooking them.  Enjoy!!

Awesome Brian. Just no eat them sashimi or poke. Too many parasites. Needs to be cooked first (even with vinegar, lemon,...).

[Brian A]

What lake is that?

Ron

Ron, it's Pine Lake.  Lmk. We go.

Tom T, thanks for the tips.  We gonna try camp lake Chelan this year, I'll remember those tips.

Bryan, thanks for the heads up. Pretty good fried.  Plenty small bones in middle, but not too troublesome.

Shoots guys, thanks for showing interest.

Aloha

[Ron Jones]

I've had a picnic there but never wet a line. I have a time share on Lake Chelan, one of the best places to be that isn't next to salt water. I'll be up in July, we can get together.

Should have mentioned that once the fish is cooked, you can easily use a kitchen utensil like a knife and lift the flesh right off the bones.  Try it a couple of times and you will be an expert.
