Rainbow Trout
While Palisade, Minnesota, isn't traditionally known as a rainbow trout hotspot, the Minnesota DNR stocks several smaller lakes in the Aitkin County area with rainbow trout, providing a unique fishing opportunity. These stocked lakes offer a chance to catch rainbow trout in a more secluded setting. Check the DNR's stocking reports to find the most recently stocked lakes near Palisade. Spring and fall are ideal times to target these trout, as the water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms or PowerBait can be effective. Local Tip: Many of these stocked lakes are relatively small and can be fished effectively from shore. A lightweight spinning rod and reel is all you need. The rainbow trout in these lakes are typically stocked at a catchable size, making them a great option for beginners or families. Be aware that the stocking schedule can vary, so it's always a good idea to check with the DNR before planning your trip to ensure the fish are present.
