I'd look around for an older Gerber "Trout and Bird', hasn't been made in years.
This little knife has a sharpened clip and a "stripping spoon" molded into the handle. I sold mine a few years ago and regret it now. Ebay or maybe the new Cutting Edge magazine that AG Russell is coming out with.
A classic knife, surely under $100.00.

LOTS of possibilities, of course.
Here is a neat, no frills type of package...with multiple carry options...

Webb and Fisher makes a very nice little Bird and Trout if you can find them.
There's a pretty one in stag at the bottom of the page.

Another one that I've carried for both, but is not a true Bird and Trout is a Helle Fisk like this one:

The cork handle is handy if you're klutz like me and drop them in the water.
Good luck.

Those who have posted links so far, in my opinion,
have the right idea about what constitutes a good
and useful trout and bird knife.
Size is critically important. So many knives being offered are
way too large for the stated job.
The above links are to sites/knives that appear to fall within the
parameters of knives which will do the job.
Back in the seventies, I bought a Randall model 8 trout and bird knife.
It is much too large to use on grouse, quail, dove, and any fish I normally
hope to catch. I still have that knife, but it serves other functions.
Look for a fairly short, fairly thin, very sharp blade.
Actually, a three inch paring knife of good quality would do just fine.
