Rainbow Trout
If you're chasing rainbows in the Cannon Falls area, you'll want to focus on the Cannon River and its tributaries. This region offers a unique blend of cold, clear water and accessible stream banks perfect for wading. Spring and fall are prime times, as the trout are more active during cooler temperatures. Look for stocked sections of the Cannon River, especially after stocking events. A local tip: pay attention to water levels after rainfall; slightly elevated but clearing water can trigger excellent feeding. Access is generally good via public access points along Highway 52 and various county roads that run alongside the river. Be sure to check the MN DNR website for stocking reports and regulations specific to the Cannon River watershed. The rainbow trout here average 12-16 inches, with the occasional larger fish.
