What a beauty. Beautiful area too. Have never targeted brookies in a lake but that might need to change.

Makes me druel!!!

I liked the step-by-step cooking. I also liked the off-roading shots. You got a real sense of the bouncing.

how cool is that.......loved the way he cooked that fish. Not sure I could have killed anything so beautiful though. That was one of the finest looking fish I have ever seen.......Probably after the first bite though I would of gotten over it ;-)

Thanks for sharing BP , absolutely beautiful fish !

Ah, Brookies--the opioids of all fish species! May we never get to rehab!

This might be stupid of me, but it looks like he ate the fish scales and all? Do people normally do that without scaling the fish before cooking?

First day of summer hiked into this good fishing trout lake at about 10,500 feet expecting to catch the trout cruising the shoreline. Rod and reels ready.

**quoting walleyevision: 'This might be stupid of me, but it looks like he ate the fish scales and all? Do people normally do that without scaling the fish before cooking?'** -Yes. Trout are usually are eaten with the skin on. I have never 'scaled' a trout, and I've eaten hundreds of 'em. I've even eaten them raw. I like the skin, especially when it's been fried hard, and gets crispy... When it's baked, the skin can be a little bitter, but it has a fatty quality that's still pretty good... But if you have a chance to cook a whole trout, THEN speed-sear the skin in a half-inch of REALLY HOT oil- you'll be hooked for life. Delicious. Nothing tastes as good as crispy, salty trout skin :) -except maybe the rich, moist flesh that lay between the skin and the bones...

Ha! Still a good memory. While trout are a fine fish in and of themselves I can't help but think the best thing about them is where they live. Its usually always some place very beautiful.

Hey good tip about speed searing the skin before baking whole. Of course! An extra step but I agree completely that the crispy skin of a trout (especially a brook trout) is not to be missed!

Totally agree with your comments. Brook trout lakes are some of my favorite spots and I thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere and experience even if I get skunked. (Not that that ever happens :)

Crispy trout you say? Hope to get a bwca brookie someday.
