Yes, I brine them in kosher salt, brown sugar, onion and garlic powder, and some Cayenne pepper, for about 3 hours. Rinse let set in the fridge for about 8 hrs, then in the smoker for about 2-3 hours or when filet temp is around 140 F.
I have a Bradley smoker, use maple biscuits.

Some are and some probably aren’t. The wilderness lakes I Fish some have natural reproduction and some the state still stocks from the air. But all are Adirondack heritage strain Brook trout.
That means you are fishing for fish whose ancestors where in those waters for a very long time That,s cool And they look tasty also .I deer hunted in the Adirondacks in 2000 .It was a really nice hunting trip Thanks for sharing your experience

There aren't any fish better eating than brook trout. I could never catch enough of them to try smoking them. We wrap them in foil with butter pats and lemon pepper. When they're done, dip them in melted butter after you give them a few squirts of lemon. Wow!
We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.

I love brook trout. Unfortunately DEC has shifted their emphasis from stocking brookies to brown trout in many places. Sad ! Browns are fun to catch and a real pretty fish, but one of the poorest eating trout I've ever tried. Nothing like a brookie.

I love brook trout. Unfortunately DEC has shifted their emphasis from stocking brookies to brown trout in many places. Sad ! That’s one of the reasons I try to concentrate my brook trout fishing to remote ADK lakes and ponds, many still have and are still stocked with heritage strain Brook Trout. Plus there is almost no pressure on the most remote lakes and ponds, due to float planes being prohibited in wilderness areas. The best lakes and ponds as expected are the hardest to get to.

My friend takes his Hornbeck canoe into those spots and has a blast!
