Rainbow Trout
Similar to brown trout, rainbow trout aren't the first species that comes to mind when thinking of Horicon. However, the Rock River and some of its tributaries near Horicon receive periodic stockings of rainbow trout, creating a limited opportunity for anglers. These stockings are typically done to supplement the existing fishery and provide recreational opportunities. The best time to target these stocked rainbows is in the spring shortly after stocking, and again in the fall when water temperatures cool. Look for them in areas with good current, such as riffles and runs, and near submerged structure. A variety of techniques can be effective, including drifting nymphs, casting small spinners or spoons, and using live bait. Check the Wisconsin DNR stocking reports for the most up-to-date information on stocking locations and dates. Public access points along the Rock River provide opportunities to fish for these stocked rainbows. Be mindful of any specific regulations regarding trout fishing on the Rock River.
