It feels like I grew up eating nothing but brook trout and fiddleheads. I couldn't wait for spring to come, my grandfather and I would go out and hunt up a pail full of fiddleheads and then go catch our limit of brook trout. My grandmother would wash and freeze bags full of both to save for a cold winter day when we'd sit around and talk about the fishing trips we wanted to make in the spring, and each trout he'd eat, he'd tell me he recognized that fish and that he knew just which hole it had come out of. He's been gone a long time now, but whenever I go back to Maine, I always take a big bag of fiddleheads for my grandmother. We sit around and eat brook trout and fiddleheads, and suddenly I'm a kid again.

Rob-s We used to pick bushel baskets of them across the river from Windsor,VT. on the Cornish side. Just cross the covered bridge into NH and turn left. Go about a mile and on the left after the boat landing and cornfield go down along the river. There used to be tons of fiddleheads. By the way where did you those running deer? That is pretty neat.

Hey Rob, I like the gif ;D I can see myself now as soon as I get a straw and a tissue! I'll be practicing my running shots while sitting at the computer ;D ;D Anyone have a photo they can post or a web site on them? They sound like something I'd like to find ;D

We used to make a fiddlehead Quiche and it was excellent. We got the receipe from Peter Christians Tavern cookbook, they made the best Quiche.
