Part of a typical Fisherman's Lodge shore lunch
Home Cooking on the River Bank
Smoked bacon for BLT's, homemade Italian sausage, pork tenderloin, our own BBQ bean
recipe, two different cold salads, and smoked pie or cobbler for dessert are what you'll
enjoy for lunch - along with a few of your morning's trout catch fried in corn meal
batter.
For shore lunches as well as many suppers, we use a
remarkably effective grill that roasts better than most ovens. Fired with chunk oak
charcoal, the grill uses an indirect heat flow that results in a very even cooking
temperature. Slow roasting at lower temperatures over this indirect heat accomplished what
few ovens can do! Our cook arrives at the cook camp location well ahead of time and
starts your slow-roasting shore lunch while you are still fishing.

Shore
Lunch Appetizers |
Enjoy fish stories and a BLT appetizer while your trout cook.
No Need To Wait
Walk up to our lunch camp and make yourself a hot BLT sandwich right away. Sit down
with your friends and swap the morning's fish stories. While you enjoy your appetizer we
begin cooking the trout you have selected from your morning's catch.

Shore
Lunch, Main Course |
Frying the morning's trout catch
Frying Your Morning's Catch
By the time you reach his shore lunch camp at noon, our cook has everything ready
for your lunch except your trout. Your guides bring up the number of trout you would like
to eat from your morning's catch. (Please remember that any trout you eat at the shore
lunch will be deducted from your daily limit of 5 trout, this is the law in Arkansas.) We
first coat the trout with our own recipe for old fashioned corn meal batter, then fry
them. The first pan of trout does not take long to cook! Once the first pan of trout has
fried, lunch is served.

Getting Back On The Fish
Tasty and fun as it is, the shore lunch doesn't last long. Our goal is to get you
back out on the fish in an hour. Another feast is only a few hours away at the lodge, and
after supper there's plenty of time for cards games and relaxing. So at noon we hustle
right along and get you back out on the fish.
