WTG!  Love that stuff.

I smoked three good sized rainbow trout last week, about 2 1/2 lbs. each.  Best smoked fish I've done yet, in three summers of smoking.  I keep experimenting with recipes and finally am getting the salt level down.  The trout were FABULOUS, firm red meat on hefty fat fish, more of a subtle flavor than the salmon I've done thus far. 

Keep at it!

Sounds good!  I'll have to try smoking some trout, if I can catch some that is.

What wood did you use? Was it Alder? What was your time in the smoker? That fish looks great!!!

This batch was hickory and it was only in the smoker for about 4 hours.  That was much quicker than normal but it is warm and dry out.  Basic brown sugar, salt and spices dry brine.
