well if you want to do it whole my favorite way is to season the cavity with garlic salt and lemon pepper, put a strip of bacon in it, wrap it in foil and bake it at 350 for at least 30 minutes. the eye's will be milky and the skin will fall right off the meat when it's done. so if you don't see that after 30 minutes wrap it back up and bake it for another 10 or so.
the best way for trout is baked fillets though. what ya do is line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil so it won't leak on the pan (makes clean up a breeze). squirt some lemon juice on the foil and spread out your fillets in the lemon juice. then mix up 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup pesto, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese. spread that on top of the fillets and bake them for 15 min. @ 350. check the thickest fillet for doneness. if you've got fillets over an inch thick they'll take longer. just like before bake it for another 10 min. and check. These little babys are pure heaven. I like to serve them up on a bed of rice.
