Found a use for stocked trout

[catman529]

Smoked one last night while I was at work, and its pretty good. Gonna try to catch some more today. Might try spring hill because they were hard to come by in Franklin.

What about Marrowbone? I think I would go there before Spring Hill. I don't how many trout they put in that little creek in Spring Hill, but it gets fished hard.

spring hill is closer and marrowbone has a lot of water, hopefully there are some left in the creek.

try it with a streambred, wild fish instead of one of those dogfood fed hatchery fish.

Is the Stones River too far for you Catman? Almost every time I go I get a limit.

You should keep on drying it into jerky.

I have considered that and may try it in the future.

Here is today's limit. Going to make smoked trout dip with it.

Sweet...looks great.

We brine our trout overnight before smoking. Helps draw out a bit of moisture and firms up the meat. You'll be surprised how the texture change will hold up when mixing the dip.

I also brine my trout before smoking them. I use a mixture of salt, water, ground garlic and brown sugar. They are awesome that way.

 

[catman529]

I brined them in salt water but only for about 40 minutes. Was working with limited time

I thought I was gonna open the thread and you would be holding a giant striper. Thats the only use for trout I thought there was. lol. There's a reason rainbows are nicknamed "striper candy"............

I may give that a try if I ever get into some trout on the caney. I have a trout colored 7 inch Redfin

Looks delicious! I cook mine in olive oil, butter, capers, lemon juice. Just let them simmer in the pan, cover with lid, flip them over a couple times. The meat flakes right off the bone and then you have that sauce to dip each bite into!

I will say if you head to the Caney and get some trout that aren't recent stockers, they taste much better! They're also larger and fatter.
