Super times in the Hill Country. Nice fish guys. ![woot woot](/forums/images/graemlins/default/woot.gif) Side Note: Never fished the Sabinal. I have seen the river on HWY 90 heading to Delrio. There is always good water. I guess Utopia is west from Uvalde? Was there any other anglers there while you were fishing? How is the Sunfish bite during warmer weather? Looks like it is fly rod friendly. May just put that on my places to fish list this year.

Thanks Curtis for the reply. ![cheers cheers](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cheers.gif) You need to fish that river. ![walking walking](/forums/images/graemlins/default/running.gif) Great Hill Country scenery and that river holds some nice fish. ![coolio coolio](/forums/images/graemlins/default/allg042.gif) The water is clear and it has some nice grass beds. As for the trout. ![eeks eeks](/forums/images/graemlins/default/icon_eek.gif) Me and Mike were the only two anglers there. ![dance2 dance2](/forums/images/graemlins/default/1962_dance.gif) As we were leaving two more anglers showed up and that was it. There will be trout to catch there up until late March. ![hooked hooked](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smileyhooked.gif) They will have lots of places to hide from anglers. ![hide2 hide2](/forums/images/graemlins/default/hide2.gif) River is spread out. I would imagine that warmer water temperatures will kill the ones that survive the anglers hooks as we get into the warmer months. ![hmmm hmmm](/forums/images/graemlins/default/kopfkratz.gif) As for fly fishing it looks like it would be a super place to fly fish. The Sunfish bite is pretty good during the warmer months. ![clap clap](/forums/images/graemlins/default/clap.gif) Heck Mike caught about five sunnies waiting for the stocking truck to arrive. One more thing. You need to eat at the Lost Maples Cafe in Utopia. ![food food](/forums/images/graemlins/default/1987_food.gif) Awesome place. ![thumb thumb](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cup.gif)

Thanks for the reply. ![cheers cheers](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cheers.gif) Yes Sir it would be well worth the trip to pay the Sabinal River a visit in the Utopia area. Very relaxing for sure. ![fish fish](/forums/images/graemlins/default/fish.gif)

Nice trout, Chuck & Mike! Been to Denison once so far, no luck. Hope to make a couple of more trips. I have a recipe for smoked trout to try. Bob ![grin grin](/forums/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif)

Thanks Bob for the reply. ![cheers cheers](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cheers.gif) Man smoked trout does sound good. ![food food](/forums/images/graemlins/default/1987_food.gif) Would your recipe work on Bluegill/Sunfish? ![noidea noidea](/forums/images/graemlins/default/noidea.gif)

Don't know. Found it on a Nebraska fishing site. It was used on stocker rainbows. It is simple. Refrigerate 24 hrs. in a solution, then bake 4 hrs in the oven at a low temp. If anyone is interested, I can post it. Bob ![thumb thumb](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cup.gif)

No Smoker Needed Smoked Trout 3 or more whole trout (gutted & gilled - real clean) 1 cup Morton's Tender Quick 8 tsp. Liquid Smoke 1/2 cup Morton's Ice Cream Salt 1 gallon water Mix solution, add trout, and refrigerate 24 hrs. Found a 12 qt. plastic dishpan at Walmart. After 24 hrs., I would rinse them off and pat dry with paper towels. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake in oven at 200 for 4 hrs. Flip them over once, after 2 hrs. Can be eaten as part of meal, or eaten with unsalted crackers. If saving for later, wrap in freezer paper and freeze. Bob ![thumb thumb](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cup.gif)

Chuck, Sunfish would have to be scaled before soaking in solution. Skin will probably peel back easily like trout, after baked. Then you can strip the meat off, starting at the backbone. Bob ![grin grin](/forums/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif)

Awesome Bob. ![cheers cheers](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cheers.gif) Will give this try on a batch of Gills I keep this up coming spring. I guess you can buy the liquid smoke at the grocery store? ![hmmm hmmm](/forums/images/graemlins/default/kopfkratz.gif)

Found everything at Krogers in Paris. If I can find it in Paris, I'm sure your HEB will have it. I bought the Hickory Liquid Smoke. Mesquite did not sound good for fish. Bob ![grin grin](/forums/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif)
