When a guest at the lodge has the breakfast cooks prepare their catch for breakfast, we do it the way Connie and Tony did it. A little egg wash, then dredge in a little corn meal and flour mixture, a little salt & pepper, and then pan fry in Crisco. It’s Good!  But my brother Dave has stepped it up a notch. Check out chef Dave preparing one of the Grille’s most popular dishes, Trout Almondine on NH Fish & Game’s Cooking Videos.  /broadcast/video_cookNH.html

It’s more than GOOD!!!

As for the fishing, the Connecticut River is fishing great. Everyone that was up last weekend had a great time on the river. I actually heard that the Trophy Stretch wasn’t even crowded. It’s nice to see people trying other stretches of the Connecticut. There is so much water to explore. OMR has guided recently and on the Trophy it’s been Parachute Adams, Hatching Pupa, Caddis Pupas and I’ve also heard Stimulators.

Water levels are perfect and so are the water temperatures. It’s great fishing in the north country.
