Brown Trout
While Foreston isn't widely known for its brown trout, a few select streams in the surrounding area are stocked and can provide a decent opportunity for anglers. What makes these streams unique is their small size and intimate setting, offering a more secluded fishing experience. Spring and fall are undoubtedly the best times to target brown trout here. Spring offers the chance to intercept freshly stocked fish, while fall sees browns becoming more active as they prepare to spawn. A key tip for fishing these streams is to be stealthy. Brown trout are easily spooked in shallow water. Try approaching your fishing spot from downstream and using natural cover to conceal yourself. Another helpful tip is to use small spinners or flies that imitate local insects. While the trout in these streams may not be huge, catching a wild or stocked brown trout in a quiet setting can be a rewarding experience. Check the MN DNR stocking reports to find the most recently stocked locations.
