Rainbow Trout
Similar to Buffalo Lake, while Circle Pines itself doesn't have a dedicated trout fishery, you can find stocked rainbow trout in nearby lakes and streams with a bit of research. The Minnesota DNR regularly stocks several smaller lakes in the region, creating opportunities for anglers looking to catch these beautiful fish. Spring and fall are ideal times to fish for rainbow trout, as the water temperatures are cooler and they are more active. Focus on areas near inlets, springs, or anywhere with good water flow. Small spinners, spoons, and worms are all effective bait options. A local tip: some of the smaller, more secluded lakes often hold larger, holdover trout that have survived for several seasons. These fish can be more challenging to catch, but they are well worth the effort. Remember to check the MN DNR website for the latest stocking reports and regulations before heading out.
