Rainbow Trout

While Odon, Indiana, isn't widely known as a trout hotspot, determined anglers can find rainbow trout opportunities within a reasonable drive. Stocked lakes and streams managed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources are your best bet. Check the DNR's stocking reports for recent releases near Odon. Spring and fall offer ideal conditions, with cooler water temperatures encouraging trout activity. Consider using light tackle and small spinners or spoons to entice strikes in these waters. Fly fishing with nymphs or dry flies can also be productive, especially in clearer streams. A crucial tip for success is to fish early in the morning or late in the evening, as trout are often more active during these cooler periods. Be mindful of any specific regulations regarding trout fishing in the area, such as size limits or gear restrictions. The trout in these stocked waters tend to be fairly receptive to a variety of presentations, so experiment to find what works best on a given day.
