Rainbow Trout
While not as abundant as other species, Rainbow Trout can be found in the St. Croix River near Oak Park Heights, Minnesota. These fish are often stocked, so check with the Minnesota DNR for the most recent stocking reports. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the cooler water temperatures make them more active. Look for areas with good current and structure, such as rocky riffles and drop-offs. Bank fishing access is available at several parks, including St. Croix Bluffs Regional Park, or consider launching a small boat or kayak for greater mobility. A local tactic is to use small spinners or spoons in bright colors, as these can attract the attention of rainbows in the often-stained waters of the St. Croix. Remember to check the regulations for any specific gear restrictions or size limits.
