Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout fishing near Danville, Indiana, requires a bit of planning, as there aren't many easily accessible, naturally reproducing populations. Your best bet is to focus on streams and rivers that receive seasonal stockings, like portions of White Lick Creek. The Indiana DNR stocks various locations, so check their website for the latest stocking reports and locations nearest to Danville. Spring and fall, immediately following stocking, are the prime times to fish. Small spinners, worms, and trout magnets are effective baits. Because these trout are often recently stocked, they may not be the wariest, but fishing pressure can be high after stocking events. A good strategy is to arrive early in the morning or target less accessible areas further from popular access points. Remember that these are stocked fish, so don't expect wild genetics or exceptional size, but they provide a great opportunity for a quick fishing trip close to town.
