Rainbow Trout
While Lindstrom isn't primarily known for its Rainbow Trout fishing, you can still find opportunities in the surrounding area. Focus on the smaller streams and rivers that flow into the Chisago Lakes. These tributaries, though often overlooked, can hold stocked Rainbows or even some that have migrated from larger bodies of water. Spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler, are the most productive times. Look for deeper pools and areas with riffles and runs. A good starting point is to research the Sunrise River, which is a short drive east of Lindstrom. Access can be a bit challenging in some areas, so be prepared to do some walking. Small spinners, spoons, and flies are effective. Keep in mind that these are generally smaller streams, so use light tackle. Check the Minnesota DNR website for stocking reports to see where recent Rainbow Trout releases have occurred.
