Rainbow Trout

While Neosho, Wisconsin, isn't widely known as a trout mecca, some smaller streams and rivers in the surrounding Dodge County are stocked with Rainbow Trout. These streams offer a more intimate fishing experience than larger rivers. Spring and fall are the best times to fish for rainbows here, with cooler water temperatures making them more active. Look for them in deeper pools, runs, and near log jams. A local tip: These streams can be quite small and clear, so use light line and natural-looking baits or flies. Stealth is key! Also, check the Wisconsin DNR stocking reports to find out which streams have been recently stocked. Rainbows in the Neosho area are typically stocked fish, so they may not be as wary as wild trout, but they still provide a fun and accessible fishing opportunity. Be sure to check the trout regulations for the specific stream you are fishing.
