Rainbow Trout
While Clemons, Iowa, isn't exactly a trout mecca, there are a few smaller, stocked ponds and streams in the surrounding area where you might find Rainbow Trout. These stockings are typically done by the Iowa DNR, so it's worth checking their website for stocking schedules and locations near Clemons. Spring and fall, after stocking, are generally the best times to target these fish. Focus on areas with moving water or near the stocking points. A simple setup with small spinners, worms, or PowerBait is often effective. Remember to check the regulations regarding trout fishing in specific locations, as some may have catch-and-release restrictions or require a trout stamp. While the trout might not be trophy-sized, it's a great opportunity to enjoy some relaxing fishing close to Clemons.
