Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout fishing near Le Roy, Iowa, requires a bit of travel, but the effort can be rewarding. While Le Roy itself doesn't have a renowned trout stream, several stocked streams and rivers within a reasonable driving distance offer opportunities to catch rainbows. The South River, located northeast of Le Roy, is a popular option. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for trout, as the water temperatures are cooler. During the summer, focus on fishing early in the morning or late in the evening. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait are all effective. A local tip: check the Iowa DNR website for the latest stocking reports to find recently stocked streams. Also, be aware of any special regulations, such as catch-and-release areas. The rainbows in these stocked streams are typically in the 10-14 inch range, providing a good fight on light tackle.
