Rainbow Trout
Rainbow Trout fishing near Blencoe, Iowa, is similar to Brown Trout fishing in that it relies on Iowa's stocking program. The Iowa DNR stocks rainbow trout in select streams and ponds throughout the state, providing angling opportunities where natural trout populations don't exist. Check the DNR's website for the most up-to-date stocking schedule and locations near Blencoe. Spring and fall are the best times to fish for these stocked rainbows, as the water temperatures are more favorable. Small spinners, PowerBait, and worms are all popular choices. Remember that these fish are often recently stocked, so they may not be particularly wary. A key tip is to check the regulations for each specific stocked location, as some may have special rules or restrictions. Also, be mindful of other anglers and practice catch-and-release when possible to help maintain the fishery.
