    They used to call that a "tail" round these parts, although they are a thing of the past really. One can still catch a glimpse of the fabled "tail" if one looks north on the 395, or ventures into the dark unknown of a place the locals call "big bear".

    I wish you Godspeed if you decide to undertake the call of the "tail", for you will not find it here in the valley.

    Nice post...very informative, though I am aware of most of this, I tip my hat, this is great for the novice...Salute.
    One thing I have yet to learn: is boning a trout (come on fellas...no pun here !)

    Basically the butterfly technique that you may see in a fish market etc. where the whole skeleton is removed from the trout b4 cooking.
    Now this is something I am looking to perfect.
    Anyone have any info on this particularly a step by step ?

    Again, good info above...Salute :appl:

    I butterfly the large models from time to time (5lb+), as it makes them easier to cook thoroughly and you can do different things with them (e.g. gratinois style with challots & white wine). We posted quite a bit about this the last two seasons. My computer crapped out 2 months ago, so most of my cherished obscure fishing bookmarks are long gone, but if you look hard enough on Google you will find a few step by step videos.

    It really isn't hard so much as it takes time and some pliers. I DO NOT recommend that Big 5 de-boning device. I tried it a couple times at a cleaning station (this stranger had it there). Doesn't work all that well with fish that have rigor mortis. It tends to tear flesh more than anything else, and makes a mess. Doesn't work on the big fish either.

    I would think butterflying a big striper would be something novel (well, to us Westcoasters). I would think leaving the skin on (scaled of course) would keep the meat moist especially if you are putting it on the barbecue.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Beleive it or not I am interested in this tequnique for pansizer trout...the larger trout I fillet but 1 to 2 lbders I'd like to de-bone...I look into it..
    Thanks for the info...

    P.S.
    I fillet most other fish that don't have an odd bone structure like the trout
