Brown Trout
While Worth, Illinois, isn't exactly known as a trout fishing mecca, there are limited opportunities for stocked brown trout within a reasonable drive. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) stocks trout in certain locations throughout the state, and some of these may be within driving distance of Worth. Check the IDNR website for the current stocking schedule and locations. These stockings typically occur in the spring and fall. When targeting these stocked brown trout, use typical trout tactics like small spinners, worms, or powerbait. Keep in mind that these are stocked fish, so they may not be as wary as wild trout. Be sure to check local regulations regarding trout fishing, including any specific gear restrictions or creel limits. The success of trout fishing near Worth depends heavily on the timing of the stockings and the fishing pressure at the stocked locations.
