Brown Trout

Brown trout fishing near Glenwood, Indiana, presents a unique challenge. While not widely known for its trout streams, some smaller tributaries of the Whitewater River, particularly those spring-fed, may hold stocked or holdover brown trout. The key is to find these cooler, less pressured waters. Spring and fall are your best bets, with spring offering the chance to intercept trout freshly stocked by the DNR. Focus on areas with undercut banks, riffles, and pools. Small spinners, nymphs, and dry flies can all be effective. Access can be tricky, often requiring some hiking and careful navigation of private land boundaries. Always obtain permission before fishing on private property. The brown trout here tend to be on the smaller side, but the solitude and challenge make for a rewarding experience. Check the Indiana DNR stocking reports for the most up-to-date information on stocking locations.
