Rainbow Trout
Amherst Junction isn't typically the first place that comes to mind for rainbow trout in Wisconsin, but the area offers some surprisingly good opportunities. Several small, spring-fed creeks and streams near town are stocked with rainbows, providing anglers with a chance to hook into these colorful fish. The stocking program supplements the limited natural reproduction, so targeting stocked areas is key. Early spring, shortly after stocking, and again in the fall, when the water cools, are the best times to fish. Light tackle and small presentations are essential. Try using small spinners, worms, or trout magnets. Be aware of private property boundaries and obtain permission before fishing on private land. A great place to start is the stretch of stream accessible from County Road B, just east of Amherst Junction. Look for deeper pools and undercut banks.
