Almost as good as shooting

[Nevada Ed]

This time we were shooting fish in a barrel.

Went to a near by lake 40 miles away and got into the kokanee salmon again.

Asked the wife if she wanted then on the BBQ or filled and smoked on the Traeger.

She asked me to smoke them, since our family likes smoked fish
and the smoked meat goes well on crackers with Philly, cream cheese or mixed in a dip.

I scored a touchdown last super bowl, when I did a salmon dip
on crackers, for one of the snacks to nibble on.

If I remember, I will post a picture of the kokanee on the smoker, to show you what it is all about.

A nice batch of 13-16" land locks, that gave us a nice workout today on "Ultra light" rods.
Never lost one at the boat and all were in the net, even though one got wrapped around the D/R cable !!

Going back next Monday, since they will start to "Turn" soon.

Hard to beat any good smoked fish. My favorite way to eat now.

Here is a picture of the finished product that hit between 130 and 136 internal temp with my insta probe.

165* at 2 hours was a little too much time for these smaller fillets.

I do a lot of King Salmon and these "Thin" fillets, caught me, off guard this time
of course, smoking in 89* temps, did not help the cause, either.

I will finger poke at 1hr 40min. next time.

They will work and the kids will enjoy them.
