Rainbow Trout
While Burns Harbor isn't a renowned trout destination, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) stocks several nearby lakes and streams with Rainbow Trout, providing a unique fishing opportunity. Check the DNR stocking reports to find recently stocked locations. These trout are typically stocked in the spring and fall. Small spinners, spoons, and PowerBait are effective baits. Fly fishing with nymphs or small streamers can also be productive. A local tip: focus on the areas around inlets and outlets of the lakes, as these areas often have higher oxygen levels that attract trout. Be sure to have a valid Indiana fishing license and trout stamp. The trout stocked in these waters are generally of a catchable size, averaging 10-14 inches, providing a fun and accessible fishing experience.
