Trout with Morels

The state of Idaho is considered one of the best places in the country for trout fishing. Also widespread throughout the state are morel mushrooms, a highly prized spring offering that grows in the wild. Morels are actually the “official food” of McCall, Idaho. The combination of these two ingredients delivers a regional recipe that’s easily replicated.
