Rainbow Trout
While Highland, Indiana, isn't typically known as a trout mecca, intrepid anglers can find opportunities for rainbow trout in some of the smaller lakes and streams that are stocked by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Look to places like the nearby Lake George or smaller county park ponds. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target these stocked trout, as the water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Early morning and late evening are prime times to fish. A local tip: check the IDNR stocking reports before you go to pinpoint recently stocked locations. Light tackle is key – think ultralight rods and reels with 4-6 pound test line. Small spinners, spoons, and trout magnets are effective artificial lures. Don't overlook natural baits like worms or corn either. Remember that these are typically stocked fish, so they may not be as wary as wild trout, but they can still provide a fun and accessible fishing experience.
