Title: Re: EAting fish in BWCA/Quetico
Post by Westwood on Jan 29th, 2012 at 6:17pm
When I plan my menu, I plan on eating fish once a day.  Sometimes plans change.  For example, last September, my wife caught a 8 pound trout that died.  So of course we ate more than one fish meal that day because a 8 pound trout fillets to almost 4 pounds of meat.  To keep the fish fresh for the second meal, I used my basketball net which was intended to be used as a anchor to keep the fish fresh.  After the trout is filleted, put the meat in a plastic bag.  Put the bag in the basketball net with enough rocks and sink the fish in deep water.

I also think it makes a different on what type of fish you are eating.  If you are eating small mouth bass which many consider an invasive species in parts of Quetico, why not eat two meals a day.  I enjoy eating fish, but eating fish twice a day gets old.
