Because the need for banana leaves means that getting hold of trout isn’t my principal stumbling block.
And there aren’t many trout recipes of which I can say that…
“4 medium sized whole Trout cleaned (keep the head and tail if you want to take a picture afterwards or if you are serving to guests)
Butter /oil for [...]
After all, look how Formula One mechanic turned sculptor Alastair Gibson turned out, in this amazing union between The Quiet Sport and A Very Noisy One:
“RACING BROWN SCULPTURE SPEC
Racing brown is inspired by race car design and technology, capturing its recognisable shape in fine detail.
All parts and materials used in this sculpture are from BAR [...]
I won’t pretend to have a clue about what goes into fish taxidermy but I suspect Paper Trout will work out a whole lot quicker, cleaner and (goodbye stuffing, hello fresh air) cheaper.
If it catches on, I see the day when you simply email a photo and dimensions of the dream fish you’ve caught and [...]
The excellent Midcurrent asks the question and I believe the angler photographed offers the perfect response.
Look like that and I strongly suspect that even the most gnarled and world-weary guide will be putty in your hands. A trouble-free guided trip, guaranteed. As long as you’re good with a doting puppy…
“Congratulations, fly-fisher,” an Outdoor Foundation/Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation survey report tells me.
“You’re likely to be earning six figures, according to the country’s most careful survey of outdoor sports enthusiasts…
Subscribers must LOG-IN to read this full story…”
That won’t be necessary. There are so many tears in my eyes from laughing at that second paragraph, [...]
Sometimes, it falls just perfectly.
Not only is the message apt.
Not only do you know exactly where on your kitchen wall it can go.
But the illustrator has even been so good as to get your name in there.
Bless you, Michael Brinkley.
Although I suspect that won’t be my wife’s immediate reaction.
This would make a good examination question:
“You’ve caught a nice trout at mid-day on a warm day…Let’s make the following assumptions:
The fish was caught around mid-day and kept for 6 hours in a bass bag at 15° C
The drive home took 1 hour with the fish in the boot of the car at [...]
“Fishing anyone? Cast a line in our two level Trout Lake. Catch dinner or just have some fun! The Big Trout Bar is a great place to have lunch, meet other guests over cocktails, relax in between hikes or exchange fish stories. The deck is a great place to lie in the [...]

“The Truth About Trout Flies has been out of print for over 15 years.
It is now free to read online. Original text and tying instructions for the flies featured in Rob’s first book The Truth About Trout.
Usual copyright restrictions apply”
With stationers, as with fisheries, it seems, you have to shop around for quality fish.
At Paper Source, for example, you can have no complaints. Full-tailed, shining eye and with an overall sheen that screams “quality”.
So how come Heliotrope can’t manage a similar lustre?
And what in heaven’s name is going on with the dark, stunted fare [...]

About Me
Taunted By Waters is what Trout Fisherman features editor Jeffrey Prest gets up to between salary negotiations.
Much as he'd like the credit for this play on the famous last words in A River Runs Through It, the real hero is Hannah Nordhaus, who coined the phrase in an article on her first try at flyfishing, for Rocky Mountain News. This blog is dedicated to her. The good bits, anyway.
