Fishing at North Georgia Cabins




We decided that we had a craving for some trout and wanted to smoke it on the Big Green Egg. So we got our fishing gear and headed for Crooked Creek Cabin, which is close by our house, and had a great time. Gary caught the first beauty, and since this was Travis's first time to go fishing, he was beside himself with glee and wanted to stick his pole in the creek and catch a fish. Pretty soon after catching the first trout, Gary reeled in another beauty (quite miraculous given the commotion Travis was creating in trying to catch a fish), and we were well on our way to having a delectable and TIMELY dinner!



We smoked the trout in the Big Green Egg, put it on a bed of garlic/butter angel hair pasta, along with fresh peas, and a divine bottle of wine. There is absolutely nothing more satisfying than going out and catching your dinner, bringing it home, preparing it and savoring every flavor. This is one of many blessings we enjoy while living in Blue Ridge.
