1
Prepare the Trout
Rinse the trout fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2
Marinate the Trout
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Coat the trout fillets evenly with the marinade and let them sit for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

3
Prepare the Smoker
Soak the hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help produce a better smoke.
4
Preheat the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). If using a charcoal smoker, ensure to set it up for indirect heat.
5
Smoke the Trout
Once the smoker is ready, place the trout fillets on the grill grates skin-side down. Add the soaked hickory wood chips to the smoker box or directly onto the coals. Close the lid and smoke the trout for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

6
Garnish and Serve
Remove the smoked trout from the smoker and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh dill and serve with lemon wedges.
