I cook trout on the BBQ with tin-foil and spices from Indonesia. I only cook the fish for about 3 minutes (cutthroat and perch) and lightly season with herbs and spices. I try not to over spice as it ruins the taste of the fish. I sprinkle a little lemon juice on all my BBQ fish. Also, when stove cooking on a skillet, remember to keep a lid over top to keep the protein intact when cooking...it only takes around 3-4 minutes to completely cook a thin (.5in) filet. The "oven" can be overkill and just waste gas. I look foward to cooking fresh cutty and do so twice per week. I look for the sea-runs so I cut down on my PCB count. Filleting the trout to begin with takes a good knife and superb skill. I have finally mastered this...so when I go to Pine and Margaret and target the hold-overs, I'll be able to fillet with much more precision, leaving more meat, and trimming less fat and eliminating more bones.

Yep, Kevinb a BBQ is the only way to go for many species of fish in the PNW...esp. fresh blackmouth salmon. I just got message from Sam-K and he said he struckout for blackmouth up in the north sound, but the wind was howling...I can contest to that - it was out of WSW at 18G25 when I was out on LW this afternoon; nasty conditions amid filtered sunshine...tough fishing conditions because the wind just blows your boat around and you have no control when it comes to trolling...

I can understand. Spring is the time when the weather can be sunny and 55F with no wind, to cloudy, rainy, with wind to 30mph in all less than 10 minutes time. It's a very dangerous time to be out on the water, esp. if you do not wear your PFD. I always wear my PFD, but for those that don't, please heed the advice and wear a life vest...it could save your life. Shore fishing isn't nearly as fun as fishing from a boat (but not always). Owning a boat allows you to troll for larger fish that you wouldn't be able to get from shore. Also, bass from shore can be tough, along with some species of trout such as cutthroat (you must be able to troll to effectively pick them up) - if you can't troll you still might pick one up, but your chances of hooking more go down cosiderably from shore.

I like to butterfly the trout Put on some Old Bay Seasoning and some pepper then on the Traeger.Smoke them for 1/2 hour to an hour and turn up the heat.Cook for 15 mins max .I put down some lettuce leaves on the grill and the fish on top of that.Banana leaves work real good but in our climate they are hard to find at a moments notice.The leaves keep the fish very moist.

I like to take a nice 14" trout, put butter and lemon pepper on it, wrap it in tin foil, and BBQ it for about 10-15
minutes. While thats cooking I also make sure to get some rice going. Fish and rice. Thats been my lunch for
about a week. Nothing like it.

The reason Asparagi make your pee smell bad is from the high ammount of sulphur in asparagi.The old missconception was that the strong smell was your urinary tract being flushed out.This is not the case.Its the Sulphur.

Hands down, fresh brookies are the best! I really do miss them, I use to fish for them in Minnesota and Michigan.

I guess us on the east side are lucky, We have streams with Brook, Rainbow, Cutthrout and Brown Trout. There maybe all four species in a single stream or there maybe one or most likely two. I live five minutes from Dragoon Creek and I have cuaght all four species in it. I almost always release the larger fish and keep the smaller fish to eat, that way I am ensuring a viable breeding stock and removing compitition for the food supply, hopefully creating a larger fish stock.

Tributaries to the Pond Oreille River like Le Clerc and Calispell have a daily limit of ten brookies, in hopes of protecting the Bull Trout and I gladly give a hand or mouth there.
