Rainbow Trout
While not as widely known as other areas in Minnesota, Riverton offers some surprisingly good Rainbow Trout fishing opportunities. Stocked trout can be found in some of the smaller lakes and streams in the surrounding area, offering a unique change of pace from the typical warm-water species. Spring and fall are the ideal times to target these fish, when water temperatures are cooler and the trout are more active. Try fishing small spinners or spoons in moving water, or drifting nymphs under a strike indicator. A great access point is the DNR public access on Long Lake, where the water is regularly stocked. Be sure to check the latest stocking reports from the Minnesota DNR to find the most promising locations. The rainbows here are generally stocked as yearlings, providing a good fight on light tackle.
