Rainbow Trout
While Upsala, Minnesota, isn't necessarily a rainbow trout mecca, you can find stocked trout in some of the smaller lakes and designated trout streams in the surrounding area. These waters provide a more intimate fishing experience. Spring, immediately after stocking, is undoubtedly the best time to target these rainbows, as they are still relatively naive and actively feeding. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or PowerBait are effective presentations. Fly fishing can also be productive in the streams, particularly with nymph patterns. A local tip: check the Minnesota DNR's website for stocking reports to pinpoint recently stocked waters. Be aware that some of these streams may have special regulations, such as catch-and-release only. The rainbow trout in these waters are typically of a smaller size, but they offer a fun and accessible fishing opportunity close to Upsala.
