Smoke the trout fillets until your trout reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. At this point, your trout should be cooked throughout and should flake easily.
Similarly one may ask, can I brine trout too long?

Also question is, can you smoke trout without brine?
It’s easy, requires just a few common ingredients, and the fish will be ready by the time you get the smoker going. This is an optional step and smoked trout don’t necessarily need a brine. To brine trout, combine about 1 tablespoon of table salt or 2 tablespoons of kosher salt for every 1 cup of water.
