Rainbow Trout
Dellwood, Minnesota, while not immediately known for trout fishing, offers some surprisingly good opportunities for rainbow trout enthusiasts. The key is targeting the smaller lakes and ponds within the area that are stocked by the DNR. These lakes, often overlooked, can provide excellent action, especially during the spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. Look for areas with submerged structure or near inlet/outlet streams, as trout often congregate there. A great tip is to check the MN DNR stocking reports online to find recently stocked lakes near Dellwood. Early morning and late evening are generally the best times to fish, and small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms and waxworms are effective. Be aware that some of these smaller lakes may have limited access or shoreline fishing opportunities, so scouting ahead of time is recommended.
