OK, so we just got back from 10 days out there, and it was incredible. First of my "gateway trips" that I will take each of the 6 kids on by themselves before they start high school. The second one will be in 2 years, and he is a fisherman. Well, I couldn't help noticing the THOUSANDS of trout out there, just begging to be caught. I was previously thinking of taking him to Glacier N.P., but now I think we'll come out there again.
I bought a book about fishing the eastern Sierra which looks ideal. I spent many many years fishing as a kid from Canada to Mexico, but haven't fished much in something like 15 years. The fishing part though I can do. What do we do when we get the trout?
I recall cleaning trout basically involving cutting off head and tail, gutting, skinning a few scales off and roasting the rest. Is that the best way to dress these little suckers? Is there any trick in the Sierra to what I do with the entrails, head and tail? Toss them in the lake?
What do I cook them with--some sort of oil and seasonings? Any advice is much appreciated.
