Brown Trout

Targeting brown trout near Merom, Indiana, presents a challenge. Brown trout are not typically found in the Wabash River or its immediate tributaries. The water temperatures and habitat are generally not suitable for sustaining a population of brown trout. If you're set on brown trout fishing in Indiana, you'll need to explore areas further north in the state, particularly those with cold, clear streams that are regularly stocked. The DNR website provides information on suitable locations. Always check stocking reports before planning a trip to ensure the best chance of success. Consider destinations further north, such as the Pigeon River system, which may offer better brown trout opportunities.
