S P O R T I N G C L A S S I C S • 103 if you Go Where? We're not sure where, frankly. We await reports from traveling anglers on any punk trout hooked or landed. We think a likely spot would be any waters in or around a tattoo parlor, as the punk trout is known to be addicted to body modification procedures such as permanent makeup and nose rings. If you catch one, send us a photo or post it on Instagram. Gear? Standard outfit: 6-weight rod, matched line, wide arbor reel. A three-foot purple wig flowing from under your fishing cap may prove an attraction to the punk trout, although when fishing near roadways tuck the wig up into your hat; no point in causing car crashes. Fly? Anything flashy, cheap, and painful should work. We recommend the Spiked Stonefly with a green mohawk and metal spikes. If you love this trout, use a light tippet so as to break it off with its new jewelry, which it will find awesome. The Viscious Monkey Gland 1½ OZ DRY GIN ½ OZ GRAND MARNIER 1 OZ FRESH SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE ¼ OZ FRESH GRENADINE 1 TSP ABSINTHE SQUEEZE OF LEMON GLASS: Red plastic cup, or not. GARNISH: Spit, or not. Shake ingredients with ice or stir with middle finger (drying finger afterwards by holding aloft). If drinking alone, swallow in one gulp; if serving others, throw it at them. Quinnett could be this year's finest under-$40 gift book. The Search for Elusive Trout: True Tales & Cocktails is lushly illustrated with Camp's fanciful trout studies. Each is accompanied by Quinnett's uproarious tales and instructions on how to pursue these mythical fish. Every story concludes with tasty, very thoroughly tested original cocktail recipes and photos, tailored to the trout at hand. In short, the perfect accompaniment for winter nights by the fire or summer evenings at the cabin, very possibly with libation at hand and friends nearby to share a chuckle or two.
