Brown Trout

While Fowlerton, Indiana, isn't exactly known as a trout mecca, dedicated anglers can find limited opportunities for Brown Trout. Stocked trout can sometimes be found in certain stretches of the nearby Salamonie River, although their presence is dependent on stocking schedules. Spring and fall are the most promising times to target them, coinciding with stocking events and cooler water temperatures. Check the Indiana DNR website for stocking reports. When targeting these stocked browns, try using small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms or crickets. Access can be limited, so research public access points along the Salamonie River beforehand. Keep in mind that these are often heavily pressured fish, so stealth and a natural presentation are key. Also, be sure to check the specific regulations for the Salamonie River regarding trout fishing, as special rules may apply.
