Ted's Little One From Today


ted is trying to coax me in to coming back down and fish again. If this "little" one is all he can do to try to talk me in to coming down again.....JEEZZZ.

I will be going again soon.

Smoked Steel Ala Len




Two medium sized steelhead cut in horse shoes

plastic 10 quart container
1/2 full with water
1.5 pounds non-iodized salt
2 pound brown sugar
3 cups real lemon
10 tablespoons dill weed
8 tablespoons red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons garlic powder
4 tablespoons onion powder
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Stir and place trout in the mixture.

Place a plate or glass cutting board on the trout so the trout are in the brine completely. Soak 14 hours. Next rinse and then reapply dill , garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes in the chest cavity and on both sides and put in the smoker. Then use the brine in the bowl in the bottom.


Smoked the steel an hour longer than i typically do small stream trout. The steel tastes different and is not as firm as small stream trout. It is not bad but I am spoiled by driftless area trout.
