Rainbow Trout
While Birchwood Village itself doesn't have extensive trout streams, its proximity to the greater Twin Cities metro area puts you within striking distance of some surprisingly good rainbow trout fishing. Focus your efforts on the tributaries of the St. Croix River to the east, or the Vermillion River to the south. These streams are stocked annually, offering excellent opportunities for both fly fishing and spin casting. Spring and fall are the prime times, as the cooler water temperatures bring the trout out of deeper pools and make them more active. A good starting point is the DNR's website for stocking reports and access points. Be aware that some stretches are catch-and-release only, so check the regulations carefully. A local tip: small spinners and brightly colored nymphs can be very effective, especially after a recent stocking. Don't be afraid to downsize your presentation, as these trout can be finicky.
