[minnbill]

Had a couple small lakers in the freezer from last fall.thought I'd givem a little smoke.I bought a brine from Hi Mountain called Gourmet Fishand soked them for 18 hrsthen gave a clean water bath for an hr this morn before firing up the webber.smoked at 2-250 for 2-3- hrs bigger fillets for 3 smaller 2.here's the victoms

and after soaking

and after the smoke

All in all they just turned out alright nothing to boast to loud.Although next time I'm going to try Erains method this brine was a little flaverless.later Bill

Add a squeeze of lemon and a few capers & paper thin onion slices on the side- kick 'em up a notch :{) Looks good from here tho!

good to see more trout... i think you better off smoking them fresh though... trout get old fast in the freezer, but if you smoke em first then freeze they keep much much better, prolly because you keep nipping at them and they gone before long anyway... yup try out the brown sugar... does the trick.
