Rainbow Trout
While Alsey, Illinois, isn't exactly known as a trout mecca, there are a few opportunities for Rainbow Trout within a reasonable drive. Head south toward the larger lakes around the St. Louis metro area, such as those managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, which often conduct trout stocking programs in the spring and fall. These stockings provide a limited window for catching rainbows in a less typical Illinois environment. Check the IDNR website for stocking schedules. Small spinners, inline spinners, and salmon eggs are your best bet. Focus on areas near the stocking points, as the trout tend to stay concentrated. The water clarity in these lakes can vary, so adjust your presentation accordingly. Remember that these stocked fish are often caught quickly, so timing your trip soon after a stocking is crucial. Respect posted regulations regarding limits and gear restrictions.
