Rainbow Trout
While not as renowned as some other Minnesota locations, Deephaven offers some surprisingly good opportunities for rainbow trout, particularly in some of the smaller, stocked lakes and streams in the surrounding area. These waters are regularly stocked by the DNR, providing a consistent supply of fish. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, coinciding with cooler water temperatures that rainbows prefer. Early spring, just after ice-out, can be particularly productive. A key to success is to check the DNR stocking reports to find out which lakes have been recently stocked. Also, remember that these are often heavily pressured fish, so using light line and natural presentations can be crucial. A local tip: many of the access points are small and can get crowded. Consider fishing during off-peak hours or exploring some of the less well-known locations for a more solitary experience. Rainbows in this area tend to average around 12-16 inches, but larger fish are occasionally caught.
