Fished out of Alton Bay and took some video of it here:

Had a lot of fun. I hadn't fished out of Alton Bay in 20 years. I expected a lot of boat traffic but the amount of boats out on a weekday morning was astonishing.

Actually Hill, Anything is better than lake trout!! And I have tried everyone’s “great” recipe to cook them and make them edible! They are just plain nasty to me!

Hope all is well!

Have you tried smoking lake trout? Back when I was fishing more often I tried this and thought the trout came out excellent. Otherwise, back in the lake they go!

Hill;

Yes I have....I have tried everything to make these fish taste good! The only thing I do with lakers when I catch them now is throw them back! Fun to catch, nasty to eat!!

Have you tried smoking lake trout? Tried it once but the paper got soggy and couldn't keep it lit. ;)

Agree with Hilltopper, smoked lake trout is tasty.
