Rainbow Trout

Rainbow Trout

Various

Looking to hook into some rainbows in northern Minnesota? Kerrick, MN, offers surprisingly good opportunities for freshwater rainbow trout, particularly in the spring and fall. The Nemadji River and its tributaries are the key here. These smaller streams are often overlooked but can hold some beautiful, wild-spawned rainbows, especially after a good rain. Focus on areas with deeper pools, undercut banks, and submerged structure. Spring (April-May) is prime time as the trout are actively feeding after the winter. Fall (September-October) is another excellent window as they prepare for spawning. Access can be a bit challenging as some areas are only accessible by foot, but the seclusion is part of the appeal. A tip: Pack light and wear wading boots as you'll likely be doing some hiking. The trout here aren't huge, averaging 10-14 inches, but they are feisty and offer a rewarding experience in a beautiful, relatively untouched setting. Remember to check the Minnesota DNR regulations for specific stream closures and tackle restrictions.
