If you're like me and don't like cleaning a fry pan, try using the baking method. I have strips of aluminum flashing (from Home Depot) cut in 1" widths and bent. These strips are placed sideways in the pot. On top of the strips I put an aluminum disc that has a bunch of holes punched in it. Put about 1" of water in the pot. Season the fish (I use Cajun seasoning) and place it in a freezer bag. I use a mylar turkey bag (cut down a bit); it works better for me, but it's more expensive. Get the water to boil, then place the bag into the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes or so.
Done.

Hope this helps!

BTW, I use rubber gloves while cleaning the fish (keeps the smell off my hands).

I'd like to take along an ultralight fishing pole on some of my trips here in Colorado, for freshwater trout. Though, with our drought and associated campfire bans, I'm not sure how to cook 'em up. Any suggestions/recipes for cooking fish with a backpacking stove? Any help and/or insights on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks again!
