When I went up there last week, about 5 miles north of me, whole families were out there with those fishing huts, having a fine time on the ice. Since all the lakes in my area are stocked early in the Spring, the fishing birds like mergansers will show up to get their fair share, too. But in the winter? Those feather flockers just head south and leave the rest of the schools of fish to us lowly humans.<\/p>\n<p>Note: this recipe comes from Rachel Ray, and if you bring in a big catch of fish, you know you can prep it for the freezer to keep it on hand. In my photo, the top piece of fish is salmon and the other piece is lake trout.<\/p>\n<section class=\"component recipe-ingredients recipeIngredients container\" data-login-url=\"\/account\/signin?context_action=Save%20Ingredients&amp;custom_dek=Sign%20up%20to%20save%20ingredients%20to%20your%20account%27s%20shopping%20list.&amp;returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rachaelraymag.com%2Frecipe%2Ftrout-with-lemon-and-herbs\" data-regsource=\"\" data-servings=\"2\" data-recipe-id=\"2056656\" data-tracking-zone=\"recipe-ingredients\" data-ingredient-total=\"6\" data-ingredients-selected=\"0\">\n<div class=\"section-headline\">\n<h2 class=\"elementFont__subhead\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<fieldset class=\"ingredients-section__fieldset\">\n<legend class=\"visually-hidden ingredients-section__legend\">Ingredient Checklist<\/legend>\n<ul>\n<li><label class=\"checkbox-list\" for=\"recipe-ingredients-label-2056656-0-0\">\u00a0<span class=\"checkbox-list-checkmark\"><span class=\"ingredients-item-name elementFont__body\">4 tablespoons butter <\/span><\/span><\/label><\/li>\n<li><label class=\"checkbox-list\" for=\"recipe-ingredients-label-2056656-0-1\">\u00a0<span class=\"checkbox-list-checkmark\"><span class=\"ingredients-item-name elementFont__body\">2 skin-on trout fillets (6 to 8 oz. each) <\/span><\/span><\/label><\/li>\n<li><label class=\"checkbox-list\" for=\"recipe-ingredients-label-2056656-0-2\">\u00a0<span class=\"checkbox-list-checkmark\"><span class=\"ingredients-item-name elementFont__body\">Salt and pepper <\/span><\/span><\/label><\/li>\n<li><label class=\"checkbox-list\" for=\"recipe-ingredients-label-2056656-0-3\">\u00a0<span class=\"checkbox-list-checkmark\"><span class=\"ingredients-item-name elementFont__body\">4 sprigs thyme <\/span><\/span><\/label><\/li>\n<li><label class=\"checkbox-list\" for=\"recipe-ingredients-label-2056656-0-4\">\u00a0<span class=\"checkbox-list-checkmark\"><span class=\"ingredients-item-name elementFont__body\">2 small lemons, 1 thinly sliced and 1 juiced <\/span><\/span><\/label><\/li>\n<li aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"cal-on-sale-tag-container\" data-v-702ba866=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><label class=\"checkbox-list\" for=\"recipe-ingredients-label-2056656-0-5\">\u00a0<span class=\"checkbox-list-checkmark\"><span class=\"ingredients-item-name elementFont__body\">1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley <\/span><\/span><\/label><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/fieldset>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"recipe-shopper-container\">\n<div id=\"recipe-shopper\" class=\"recipe-shopper\">\n<div id=\"cal-app\" class=\"cal-app-container\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"cal-app-offers\">\n<div class=\"cal-on-sale\">\n<div class=\"cal-on-sale-top\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h2 class=\"section-headline elementFont__subhead\">Directions<\/h2>\n<fieldset class=\"instructions-section__fieldset\">\n<legend class=\"visually-hidden instructions-section__legend elementFont__title\">Instructions Checklist<\/legend>\n<ul class=\"instructions-section\" data-tracking-label=\"instructions section\">\n<li class=\"subcontainer instructions-section-item\" data-tracking-zone=\"recipe-interaction\"><label class=\"checkbox-list\" for=\"recipe-instructions-label-0-0\">\u00a0 <span class=\"checkbox-list-checkmark\"> <span class=\"checkbox-list-text elementFont__subtitle--bold\">Step 1<\/span> <\/span> <\/label>\n<div class=\"section-body elementFont__body--paragraphWithin elementFont__body--linkWithin\">\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\n<p>In a large (10- to 12-inch) cast-iron skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
