If trout is gut hooked, and you try to remove the hook, your chances of the trout surviving are very slim. If you intend to release it, cut the line as close to the hook as possible. Use steel hooks as they disolve in time - Do not use stainless steel hooks. Hook size and design does not matter much if you do this.

The only problem is I can't figure out how to make trout not taste trash

thanks, mate, I know that if I gut hook one it wont really matter, but I am trying to limit the amount I gut hook.
