John never a trout. In my younger days much younger I would catch Catfish and spear Carp with an occasional catch of White Bass . The wood of choice was apple wood cause it was free and had a desirable flavor. Use to use the small branches soak them and use them for the smoke. Gave most of the fish away at work I worked at Jeep and didn't have a problem if someone wanted some I would give them fish of there choice. I just loved doing it and giving it away was a bonus. The neighbors always knew when I was smoking fish I sent heavy smoke in all directions threw the neighborhood . Once a year some friends at work would go to Lake Michigan and fish for Salmon so I smoked there Salmon for them so I did do Salmon also and too that was apple wood.
