Seasonal Activity Chart
Rainbow Trout
Rainbow Trout opportunities near Berwyn, Illinois, are primarily found in stocked waters, as they are not native to the region. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources stocks several lakes and ponds in the area with catchable-size Rainbow Trout, particularly during the spring and fall. Check the IDNR website for stocking schedules and locations. These stockings provide a great chance to catch trout relatively close to the city. Spring and fall are the best times to fish for them, as the water temperatures are cooler and more conducive to trout activity. Popular baits include PowerBait, small spinners, and worms. A local tip: focus on areas near the stocking locations immediately after the fish are released. They tend to congregate in these areas initially. Be aware that these are often heavily fished locations, so arrive early to secure a good spot. The Rainbow Trout in these stocked waters are typically hatchery-raised and offer a good opportunity for beginner anglers to learn trout fishing techniques.
