Rainbow Trout
Similar to brown trout, targeting rainbow trout near Lamberton means heading east towards the Driftless Area. While Lamberton itself lacks suitable habitat, the Root River system and other streams in southeastern Minnesota offer stocked and, in some cases, naturally reproducing populations. Spring and fall are the best times, particularly during and after stocking events. Look for deeper pools and runs where rainbows tend to hold. A local tip: PowerBait and worms are effective for stocked rainbows, but don't overlook artificial lures like spinners and small spoons. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers can also be productive. Be mindful of private property along the streams and respect landowners' rights. Check the Minnesota DNR website for current stocking reports and regulations specific to the stream you plan to fish. Rainbows in this area are typically stocked, so expect a range of sizes.
