The trout are biting in lakes along the Gunflint Trail and the smoker is going at Rockwood Lodge. As the summer season whines down we have taken some time off to do a little trout fishing. I don't care for fried or baked trout but smoked trout is a nice change from the fried walleyes that we have been eating for most of the summer.
Our first batch of smoked fish included rainbow and lake trout. They didn't last long! We went out to a nearby trout lake again last week and now we're just a couple of fish short of being able to fire up the smoker again. (We do two racks of fish on the smoker at the same time!)
