Rainbow Trout
While Ogilvie, Minnesota, isn't a rainbow trout mecca, there are still opportunities to catch these fish, particularly in designated trout streams and stocked lakes within a reasonable drive. Check the Minnesota DNR stocking reports for the most up-to-date information on where rainbows have been recently stocked. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target them, as the water temperatures are more favorable. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait are all effective presentations. The Rum River, while primarily known for other species, can hold some trout in its cooler sections, especially after stocking. Access to these streams can vary, so be sure to research public access points and obtain any necessary permits or licenses. Rainbow trout in this region tend to be stocked fish, so they may not be as wary as wild trout, but they still provide a fun and accessible fishing experience.
