Rainbow Trout
While Chaumont is better known for its bass fishing, there are still options for Rainbow Trout enthusiasts. The Black River, located a short drive inland, offers some excellent trout fishing opportunities. Spring and fall are the ideal times to target Rainbows, especially during their spawning runs. Focus on sections of the river with riffles, pools, and overhanging vegetation. The area around Dexter, NY, offers good public access points. A practical tip is to check the water levels before heading out, as heavy rain can make the river unfishable. Consider using nymphs or small streamers to entice these trout. The Rainbow Trout in the Black River are known for their vibrant colors and willingness to strike, providing anglers with an exciting experience.
