Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until trout flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. Transfer trout to a flat work surface, and remove and discard skin. Discard beer, onion, and lemon. Place salt pork in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Reserve drippings. Drain salt pork on paper towels. Melt butter in the skillet. Add remaining 1 onion and celery. Sauté until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the pot. Stir in chicken stock, potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Place trout, salt pork, and heavy cream into the pot. Cook until chowder is heated through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and chives. Cook's Note: Bacon may be substituted for the salt pork.
