Baked Trout With Bacon

Another I found while 'net scrounging, and I like it. I think this was listed as a Russian fav. I obviously have no idea if it is or not. I don't get to make it but about once a year, because, well, I gotta catch my trout first and since there are no trout streams where I live, (Nor even close by) I have to go get 'em. (Fishing at the supermarket is no fun) So it's something kinda rewarding after I've made a large (to me) trip to catch 'em. And lemme tell ya, those trout don't come easy to me, fly rods mess me the heck up. A shame I'd get dirty looks from purists if I attempted to use a casting rod. LOL
