Rainbow Trout
While not a primary trout destination, Bedford, Indiana, does offer some limited opportunities for rainbow trout fishing. Some smaller streams and lakes in the region are stocked with trout by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Check the DNR's stocking reports to find the most up-to-date information on stocked locations. Spring and fall are the best times to fish for trout, as the water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait such as worms or crickets can be effective. A local tip: Fish early in the morning or late in the evening, as trout tend to be more active during these times. Also, be aware that some streams may have special regulations, such as catch-and-release only, so be sure to check the regulations before you start fishing. While you might not catch trophy-sized trout, it can still be a fun and rewarding experience to fish for these beautiful fish in the Bedford area.
