BEST GRILLED TROUT 
4 whole trout, cleaned
8 strips of bacon
1 lemon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 med. onion, sliced

Slice lemon in half and slice half the lemon into slim wedges. Mix Maple syrup and brown sugar together and brush inside of trout with mixture. Stuff the trout with lemon and onion slices. Brush more maple syrup mixture on outside of fish. Lay out a large enough piece of aluminum foil to wrap the fish completely.

Lay a strip of bacon down and place fish on top of it, lay another strip of bacon over the top and wrap loosely in aluminum foil. Place on grill over medium low heat for 15-20 minutes until bacon is done and fish flakes. Squeeze other half of lemon over fish or garnish with wedges from other part of lemon. (You can also add other spices/seasonings to suit taste. I enjoy some cayenne in mine)

I also forgot to mention to add some wood chips to your coals if you are doing charcoal. I still love this recipe! I swap onion for wild foraged ramps nowadays.

Delicious! I did mine on the Weber, (8 lb. Rainbow, for 12 minutes each side). I would/will add a little more salt next time, and line the cavity with bacon as well.

AMAZING! Best grilled trout EVER! These trout were fresh from a mountain lake in Colorado. Yummy! I did add some fresh herbs from my herb garden (finely chopped) into the cavity of the fish - basil, oregano and parsley.
