Rainbow Trout
While Coon Rapids, Iowa, isn't exactly known as a trout mecca, you can find Rainbow Trout in certain stocked ponds and potentially in some cooler, spring-fed streams that feed into the Raccoon River. Check the Iowa DNR stocking reports for the most up-to-date information on where trout have been recently released. These stockings typically occur in the spring and fall, making those the best times to target Rainbow Trout. When fishing stocked ponds, focus on areas near inlets or submerged structure. Small spinners, spoons, and PowerBait are popular and effective. If you're exploring streams, look for deeper pools and undercut banks where trout might hold. Fly fishing with nymphs or small dry flies can also be productive. Remember that these are often smaller, stocked fish, so using light tackle is essential. Always check local regulations regarding trout fishing, as some areas may have specific size or creel limits.
