Rainbow Trout
While Hammond, Indiana, isn't the first place that springs to mind for rainbow trout, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources stocks trout in certain urban waterways, providing a unique fishing opportunity. Wolf Lake and some sections of the Little Calumet River receive seasonal stockings, primarily during the spring and fall. These stockings are intended to provide recreational fishing close to home. The best time to target these trout is shortly after the stocking dates, as the fish are still acclimating to their new environment. Simple techniques like fishing with PowerBait on a small hook or casting spinners and spoons can be effective. Access points are readily available along the shoreline of Wolf Lake. Be sure to check the Indiana DNR website for the latest stocking reports to maximize your chances. The trout are generally of a decent size, offering a fun and accessible fishing experience in an urban setting.
