First Trout of the Season!

Finally, Joe got to go out fishing on his Apple Creek for the first time this trout season. The water in general is still pretty cold, about 10 degrees Celsius, but is no longer too high from the snow melt. Even better his cousin Al got to join. Unfortunately I had to work and missed a beautiful day. But it paid off well at the end of the day when I came home. A very nice 14 inch brown trout was waiting for me. Joe cooked it on the grill, served with sautéed morel mushrooms and Vidalia onions.

And next is the picture of the fish "after." (Translation: Kayo and chopsticks happened; no cat involved.) We are hoping our friend Kozue can catch some fish when she comes to visit next week. We pray to our fish god.
