How To Clean A Trout ...

[Rusty]

Will you marry me?   

 

I'd be afraid of those nails.  Ms Grit might roll over in her sleep and you'd end up looking like one of those trout.

I usually do it streamside, (is that illegal?). Looks like I'm going to start carrying scizzors in my truck, that's pretty slick way of doing it.

I believe it is illegal

Wow, I never heard of that.  I often see trout gut piles left streamside...when I was younger and kept them (rarely do now), my dad and I always just cleaned them right there after we finished.   Scavengers would eat the gut piles and they'd often be gone by the next day.

 

PS, if you don't have nails like Robin...a spoon is a good substitute at home, or just use your knife and go back and forth instead of up and down

So many nail comments I figured I would throw one more in........my Mrs. had nails that would change colors with the heat or cold.....

I am keeping the guts in a zip lock bag for bear bait . . .

There's a spot on the Musky where the eels will come out of the rocks in broad daylight and fight over trout guts. In Alaska they demand you put the guts back in the river after fileting salmon because the biodiversity depends on it.

In AK, one of the best halibut baits is fresh salmon guts
