Trout On A Nail For Double Enhanced Flavor

It's primitive for sure but the taste of your freshly caught trout is enhanced and delicious when you use this method to cook your fish.
First things first:
Split the fish through the back so that it opens up like a book, with the belly as the spine.  Remove the backbone and viscera.  Rinse the fish thoroughly inside and out using cold water then dry it with paper towels.
Secondly:
Brush the fish with some melted butter.  Then nail the fish skin-side down to an untreated oak, hickory, cedar or other hard wood plank.  Ideally this should be about 10 inches wide and 3 feet long.  Use six nails to ensure a tight fit to the board.  Be sure not to nail all the way through the board as you'll need to remove them after cooking has been completed.
Third:
Combine brown sugar, mustard, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.  Brush the trout again with some of the remaining butter and sprinkle the spice mixture onto the flesh rubbing it gently to be sure that it adheres.
Fourth:
Now make sure you have a roaring hot fire.  I know that usually you don't want your campfire to be so hot you can hardly stand by it but in this case you most certainly do.  You're going to use the relfected heat from the fire to cook your fish and flames are helpful in this case.  Stand the board approximately 12-18 inches away from the fire with the head of the fish toward the bottom.  Prop it up with a few sticks and it should be steady enough for your cooking session.
The cooking time for your fish should be around 15-20 minutes and  you can check to see if it is cooked to your likeing by using your fingertip.  If the flesh flakes off it is done.
And finally...
Enjoy this great fish by removing it from the board.  Use something to protect your hands from the heat and remove the nails and transfer the fish to a plate.  Garnish with fresh sprigs of dill and drizzle a little lemon juice over your fish to enhance it's flavor.

Now that wasn't so hard was it?  And best of all you've learned a new survival skill at the same time.
Get cooking!
