Thanks, Its from the River Wharfe, addingham. I was only there an hour, i was trying the czech nymphing method, mate talked me into it. I caught one, but then I saw a couple of rises, on the far side so switched to a small olive. [i prefer dry fly anyway]. Long casts, as I only had my thigh waders on, but got him in the end. :) He put up quite a fight on a 3wt 10 foot rod. Im marinating it in liquid smoke. Am seriously thinking of building a cold smoker, with flues and elbows coming out of my firebin, into an oak barrel or an empty fridge from the tip.

No problem Bob, you can take two with you, so bring an ice box. :) They are stocking next week. So end of april maybe, or first week in june, on a weekday, if that suits you?

We'll have a good day anyway.

I'll have to try a bit of fly fishing.. I like throwing spinners about on my Greys G-Lite spinning rod :)

Aye Dave.. that'll be lovely smoked.. good catch mate :)

Last time i went fishing i cooked what we caught in a foil pouch, with a bit of butter, lemon juice & garlic paste. Mixed herbs on top. Left to bake in the embers of the fire. Perfect. Made baked sweet potatoes to go with it. Mmmm

Pan fried, at 15" I'd top and tail it. Hot pan, couple of minutes a side in oil with a small knob of butter, and then the lid on and taken off the heat and rested for 10mins (with the lid on). Herbs? a spring of mint in the pan in along with it if you must.

Much bigger and I'd be looking halving it. Bigger still I'd be steaking it.

I'm not keen on filleting trout as I believe they're easier to deal with cooked whole or as steaks.

Madness :).. but if it works.. ya can't knock it.

That's what i'd call top drawer cooking there boy!!

ps As for cooking my sewin (preferred to BT) always steamed(meat is so tender and sweet) with spring onions (whole) ginger (minced) chili(flakes or chopped fresh) put them together(you need a huge wooden steamer) cannot be beaten for taste and flavour imho.
