Rainbow Trout
While Dana, Indiana, isn't exactly known as a trout mecca, determined anglers can find opportunities for rainbow trout within a reasonable drive. The closest option would be to explore the stocking programs in place at some of the larger reservoirs and streams in surrounding counties. Check the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) stocking reports for recent releases. Spring and fall are the best times to target these stocked trout, as the water temperatures are cooler. Light spinning tackle with small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms and PowerBait are effective. A local tip: Focus on areas near creek inlets or deeper pools where the trout might congregate. Be aware that trout fishing in Indiana often requires a trout stamp in addition to a regular fishing license. The trout you'll find here are primarily stockers, so don't expect to find huge specimens, but they can provide a fun and accessible fishing experience.
