Rainbow Trout
If you're looking to tangle with Rainbow Trout in Wisconsin, consider a trip to the Alma Center area. While not as widely known as some of the Driftless Area streams further south, the local tributaries of the Black River offer some surprisingly good Rainbow Trout fishing. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are cooler, and the trout are more active. Focus on the smaller creeks and streams that feed into the larger rivers; these are often less pressured. A local tip: access to many of these streams is via county roads and bridges, so be respectful of private property and park responsibly. Rainbows here tend to be wild and wily, so downsizing your presentation can make a big difference. Try small spinners or dry flies in the riffles and runs.
