Seasonal Activity Chart
Rainbow Trout
While Pine Springs is better known for its bass fishing, determined anglers can find rainbow trout in some of the area's cooler, spring-fed lakes and streams. These trout are often stocked, so check the Minnesota DNR stocking reports to see which waters have been recently planted. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons, as the water temperatures are more favorable. Look for areas with good oxygenation, such as near inlets or outlets. A small boat or kayak can be helpful for covering more water and finding less-pressured spots. A local favorite is to use small spinners or spoons in the early morning or late evening. Also, be aware of any special regulations on specific lakes, as some may have catch-and-release only policies for trout.
