For many fisherman, fishing isn’t simply a sport. In fact, it is just as common to fish as a means for food as it is for sport or hobby (catch and release). In the lakes that make up the Madison chain, bluegill, crappie, and perch are abundant and are my very favorite to include in a fish fry. It can be nerve-wracking before filleting fish for your first time. It is important that you have a good teacher, so you don’t end up wasting any meat from the fish. For anyone who wants to start harvesting their catch, I recommend starting with panfish, as they are the easiest to harvest. Once you get the hang of the fillet knife and how it works, you can start to venture into filleting more types of fish using many of the same techniques.
