Cornbread & Buttermilk entered the 35th Helen Trout Tournament held on Saturday March 30th.  Arriving 2 days early so we practice our casting, in case we’re had gotten rusty.  We had a comfortable stay in the Unicoi lodge.   We discuss beloved vintage bamboo fly rods, and cooking Trout the Ernest Hemingway way.   Corn bread mentioned the book ‘Basque Country , a culinary journey through a food lovers paradise,´ by Marti Buckley.   Marti Buckley is a southern chef and writer from Alabama.   She has nice twist on cooking trout in her book, the recipe was also published in Garden and Gun magazine.    We talk about Betty´s Country Store, and her Deli sandwiches that we love, Moon Pies, Coca-Cola, and giant cookies..
CORRECTION:  That was 400 pounds of trophy trout put in the Chattahoochee for the tournament, not 400 trophy trout.
