Rainbow Trout
While Tower, Minnesota, is better known for its walleye and panfish, determined anglers can find opportunities for rainbow trout in some of the smaller, less-pressured lakes and streams in the surrounding area. These are often stocked waters, so check the Minnesota DNR stocking reports before planning your trip. Spring and early summer are the best times to target these trout, shortly after stocking when they are actively feeding. Fly fishing with nymphs or small streamers can be effective in the streams, while trolling small spoons or spinners can work well in the lakes. Many of these locations require some hiking or paddling to reach, so be prepared for a bit of an adventure. A local tip: ask at the local bait shops about recent stocking locations and access points. The trout in these smaller waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, but using light line and natural-looking presentations will increase your chances of success.
