Rainbow Trout
Looking for rainbow trout near Mosinee, Wisconsin? While not as widely known as some western trout destinations, the area does offer some surprisingly good stream fishing opportunities. Several small, spring-fed creeks and tributaries that feed into the Wisconsin River are stocked with rainbows. The best time to target these fish is in the spring (April-May) after ice-out, or in the fall (September-October) when water temperatures cool. Look for sections of the streams with deeper pools and undercut banks, as these provide cover for the trout. Access can be a bit challenging as many of these streams run through private land, so be sure to check regulations and obtain permission where necessary. A local tactic is to use small spinners or dry flies in the slower-moving sections of the streams.
