Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout fishing near North Salem, Indiana, requires a bit of a drive, as the immediate area lacks suitable trout streams. However, dedicated anglers can find stocked trout in some of the more managed waterways within an hour or two's drive. Check the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) stocking reports to find locations that have been recently stocked. Spring and fall are the best times to target rainbow trout, as the water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. A local tip is to use small spinners or live bait such as worms or mealworms. Pay close attention to water clarity; trout are easily spooked in clear water, so use lighter line and make longer casts. While the rainbow trout in these stocked streams aren't typically large, they offer a great opportunity for anglers of all skill levels to enjoy some fast-action fishing. Remember to purchase a valid Indiana fishing license and trout stamp before heading out.
