need advise for smoking trout

[B.O.]

Does any one here smoke trout? I have a bradley electric smoker and have smoked alot of meat but I have never tried fish as I don't really care much for most fish. My father in law has some rainbow trout from a local stocked pond he wants me to smoke. I have read conflicting advise about using a brine or not. What temp. for how long? Should the fish be filleted or just cleaned and butterfly cut. I appreciate any advice thanx
