I took my gal fishing over the weekend, and between the both of us, ended up with 23 very tasty trout. We went to Jess Ranch Lakes in Apple Valley, CA, it's a fish hatchery that supplies a lot of our local lakes with fish. They have several small lakes of their own that you can fish. It's a private lake, so no fishing license is required. I used various flavors of Powerbait to land these fish. Normally, they stop biting around 10:30am ish or so, they were hungry, we kept fishing up until around 12:00pm noon. It took about an hr to fillet all of trout, and wrap most of them for the freezer. Very simple BBQ rub, direct over hot coals, skin very crispy, the meat came right off, very tasty fish! Here are the pics, happy fishing!
