yes i have done it a couple of times.. it works very well, make sure you dont use a toxic wood for the parts coming in to contact with the fish.

Tried it with whitefish. Works very well. Willow is completly harmless.

i have to agree to panached fish is wonderfull and trout works just the same. Good tip about the wood nice to keep in the back of your mind ( its one of those things you just do automatically)

I have done so and it works well, although I have tried trout steamed in a mud oven and it tasted very nice.

Don't forget to scrape the bark from the stick (if your using willow this can be used to make cordage) as the bark has bacteria present. It's a good idea to use green wood.

For a small gutted fish the size of a trout or mackrel you could also just use a sharpened stick (advice on choice of wood again - choose something nontoxic and remove the bark), one end in the ground at an angle up over the fire and the fish slid on through the mouth and up into the tail - it just sits there. Now skewering or fiddling about with the sticks needed, and no flesh wasted from pulling out the carcass.
