Rainbow Trout
While not a widely known trout destination, the Coon Rapids area offers limited opportunities for rainbow trout, primarily through stocking programs in smaller lakes and ponds. These stockings provide a unique chance to catch rainbows close to the city. What makes these fisheries interesting is their put-and-take nature; the trout are stocked for anglers to catch, providing a fun and accessible fishing experience. Spring and fall are the best times, shortly after stocking, when the trout are most active and haven't yet been fished out. A local tip: check the Minnesota DNR website for stocking reports to find out which lakes have recently been stocked. Simple techniques like fishing with PowerBait or small spinners can be effective. Many of these lakes have public access, but some may be small and crowded, especially soon after stocking. The rainbows are typically of modest size, but they are a welcome addition to the local fishing scene.
