Rainbow Trout
While Alsip, Illinois, might not be the first place that comes to mind for trout fishing, the IDNR stocks several local lakes and ponds with Rainbow Trout, offering a surprising urban angling opportunity. Look to places like the Little Calumet River and its connected lagoons, or the various smaller lakes maintained by the Forest Preserves of Cook County. Spring and fall are the prime times to target these stocked trout, as the water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. A simple setup of light tackle with small spinners, spoons, or even a well-presented worm can be effective. Access can be quite good, with many locations offering shoreline fishing and parking. Be sure to check the IDNR stocking reports to see when and where the most recent releases have occurred. These stocked trout are often eager to bite shortly after being released, but can become more selective as they acclimate to their new environment.
