Thanks again everyone. Its been more dry than in the past few years so Stage I Fire Restrictions abound. I just ordered one of those little propane faux campfire thingies so we're going to plan on cooking over that or the propane stove. Options for real fire are limited. No campfires allowed in primitive sites under Stage I restrictions and we'd rather not stay at the developed campgrounds with all the foul mouthed college kids while our babies are trying to sleep. Then there's the portajohns :puke:

Primitive camping is the only way to go  :twocents:

  I do a lot of wilderness backpacking, this method is by far the easiest and best way to cook trout with little more than a tin foil pan and some Montreal steak seasoning, no oil needed, they cook in there own juices just cover with foil and place in the coals

Put it on a stick and roast it over the open fire!

It depends on the trout, for me.  Good flavorful wild trout, especially Brook or Brown, grill until the skin gets crispy.  My favorite way for blando planted trout (95% of what's caught in this state IMO), I like to filet it removing all of the bones (small pieces are fine for this) and then gently saute it in butter with salt and pepper, sometimes lemon pepper.  This is great for breakfast with some fried eggs as well and good for a no fire camp.

Thanks Fellers. Lowry's will have to do. We don't have Johnny's down here, as I've previously lamented. Any other spices good? lemon pepper?  :dunno:

There's this cool new website where you can get almost anything with pretty decent prices.  You should check it out.  :chuckle:

Not for long!

What's a spat with Bezos' lefty Washington Post have to do with the price of Johnny's at Amazon?  :dunno:

Foil and Garlic Salt.

You can add an onion and a pat of butter if you have it but you don't need it.

FYI, I also keep a box of Pankos in my camping gear, works great for bass , walleye, etc...

Thank you all, but fish were safe from me, once again  :bash: Its been several years since I've caught a fish, and it sucks that my kids think that fishing is holding some pole with a line going into water while daddy tells them to stop throwing rocks into the water  :chuckle: I've liberally put more than a ton of wild game meat into the freezer since I last caught a fish. Not one ton of live weight, on the hoof--processed, cut, and wrapped meat. I guess you gotta stick with what you know  :dunno:

Grabbed a few shots of elk and had a bear walk through our camp at night.

Bean Counter, stick with what you know.  That herd of elk is far better than a trout!

I don't even like trout, to be honest. I guess I'm just trying to impress my kids. Every fall they've seen me leave for a week and come back with a few coolers full of meat. But I can't take youngins out and do the kind of hunting I do. I just thought fishing would be a tangible experience for them. I guess its rabbit hunting this winter.
