Part 02/03 Colorado Cutthroat & Garlic Hash Brown Potatoes! My dogs (Ash & Juni) and I had a great time camping at this beautiful secluded lake nestled just below the mountain top at 10,000 ft elevation. The lake was incredibly healthy with a bounty of Colorado Cutthroat and Tiger (sterile cross between a brook and a brown) trout to be caught and cooked to supplement my backpacking meals.
I ate trout for breakfast and twice for dinner cooked three different ways. For breakfast I fried Tiger Trout in bacon fat! For my first dinner I cooked a Colorado Cutthroat with garlic hash browns for my traditional fish and potatoes meal. For my last dinner I grilled a Tiger! I used Hakata Spice (from Japan, We're working on getting some for you to try) on all three meals.

I'm going to be sleeping with my bear spray tonight.
Good morning.
Up before the dawn.
The fishing report said it would be good right at 6am.
So I woke up at 5.30am.
Making my way around to the other side of the bay.
Smoked my fly off last night.
At the very end of the night.
So there's my bubble.
There's my whole rig.
New fly, new bubble, the whole rig is all new.
And this is my first try.
The fish are still pretty aggressive.
Well, I finally caught a fish.
But I think it's tiny.
Yeah, maybe this is what's been biting and not catching.
Because they're too small.
They're still jumping pretty good.
You can see the sunlight.
And those trees there.
Now I'll be trying to stay in the shade where the fish are still biting.
Oh, got her!
Yes!
Oh, finally!
Wow!
She is pretty big.
Woo!
Oh!
She's not that big.
Beautiful.
She's breakfast sized.
I don't know why he feels so good.
He's been feisty.
This morning's catch is a tiger trout.
I love the way it has a humped back.
Oh, that's looking good.
Getting crispy there.
Nice and crispy.
Oh, look at those beautiful pieces.
Hakata spice from Japan.
That's good.
I'm going to try some of this crispy skin.
That's good.
Here's two trout.
Cheers.
Wow.
Still holding on just a little bit.
But that's about how you want it.
That way you know you didn't overcook it.
Still just slightly pink.
Just the same way you would want your salmon.
Let's add a little more of the Hakata spice mix.
This looks awesome.
Look at that.
It just doesn't get any better than that.
Oh, that's good.
Just a little more.
That's good.
