Thanks All,
DIED really hit it on the head. When I told my wife about the pine needles, her first words were "I hope they don't taste like pine trees!"
pine marinada trout ala catmandoo
We had several interruptions right after I cleaned the fish , so the fillets are on ice in the refrigerator for tonight's dinner.
As for snails, I must have them, but I don't remember seeing them in the bluegill or bass. I hope to get red ears in this spring, so that should give me a clue.
I will say that the trout have been a real treat this winter. We usually don't get enough ice for safe ice fishing. But each time the water has opened, I've been able to go fishing. Since I pretty much wiped out my crappie, the trout have given me a good excuse to fish this winter.
