Sometimes the intersection of your hunting and fishing endeavors makes the perfect culinary mix. Last winter we were out chasing Mountain Quail in the Sierra Nevada and took a down day to fish for Mackinaw Trout on Lake Tahoe. With a bounty of birds and fish we knew we had something special.

We wish that every meal we made was wild game, but sometimes a little steak is a welcomed change. Team Whiskey is dedicated to sourcing meat in a sustainable and humane fashion and we have found a ranch that represents everything we stand for. Bently Ranch is the leader in sustainable and humane ranching practices in the Nevada/Northern California area. 

This recipe is a sure-fire hit as long as you put in the time! Remember the devil is in the details with this recipe. For this recipe, I use my Sportsman’s Elite Masterbuilt Smoker. I love this smoker because it comes with an internal meat thermometer which allows you to keep the smoker closed while checking the temperature of your fish!
