Is it a literal whole trout? Gutted? Skin on?

Are you wanting to cold smoke it?

 

[bob1961]

smoke it any way i can, yes he has it whole with skin in freezer. i just know how long or cut into steaks or smoke it whole ?

 

[bob1961]

i want to cook in smoker but not sure how long or go by temp ?

If you smoke it whole, then just smoke it until it flakes off the bones. Hard to check with a therm, but if you could it would be around 140 degrees IT. If it is a big one then just filet it & it will be done in 45 minutes or so. Good luck & let us know what you decide to do & how it came out.

What type of smoker do you have? Are you seeking to smoke it as an entree or appetizer?
How big is the fish?
