Brown Trout

While Edgewood, Indiana, isn't renowned for its trout fishing, dedicated anglers can find some opportunities within a reasonable drive. Streams flowing into the larger reservoirs south of Edgewood, though not heavily stocked, may hold some holdover brown trout, particularly in the cooler months. Spring and fall are your best bets, when water temperatures are more favorable. These streams are generally small and require a stealthy approach. Focus on areas with undercut banks, fallen logs, and riffles. Light tackle and small lures or flies are essential. A practical tip is to check the Indiana Department of Natural Resources website for stream surveys or stocking information, although specific data for these smaller streams may be limited. Remember to practice catch and release to help sustain the wild trout population, as these are not heavily stocked fisheries.
