Try "Indian Candy" recipes. There are numerous variations if you google, but all have brown sugar and pure maple syrup as main ingredients. With kokanee I personally like them moist so I smoke for only about 6 hours with two pans of apple chips.
I first brine them overnight and dry to a glaze. I smoke the whole fish minus the heads rather than filets.
If you want them drier (like most of my family) then you can smoke them up to 24 hours; just check them until they are the way you want.
I use a Big Chief electric. Works great.
I might add that I scrape the scales off before brining. Just less messier. Check these out...
