Rainbow Trout
While Knox, Indiana isn't known as a trout mecca, you can find some stocked rainbow trout opportunities within a reasonable drive. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources stocks select waters in the spring and fall, so check their stocking reports for the most up-to-date information on locations near Knox. The Yellow River, while primarily a warm-water fishery, may receive some trout stockings in its cooler stretches. Spring and fall are the best times to target these stocked trout, as water temperatures are more favorable. Use typical trout tactics like small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms and salmon eggs. A great local tip is to check with local bait shops for the most current information on stocking locations and recent angler success. Remember that these are typically stocked fish, so they may be relatively naive and easier to catch shortly after stocking, but can become more selective as time passes.
